أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ مِنْ كِتَابِهِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ حَفِظْتُهُ مِنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِنَّ نَوْفًا الْبَكَالِيَّ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ لَيْسَ بِصَاحِبِ الْخَضِرِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ مُوسَى آخَرُ قَالَ كَذَبَ عَدُوُّ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنَا أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «قَامَ مُوسَى فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ خَطِيبًا فَقِيلَ لَهُ أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَعْلَمُ؟ قَالَ أَنَا قَالَ فَعَتَبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ إِذْ لَمْ يَرُدَّ الْعِلْمَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ عَبْدٌ لِي بِمَجْمَعِ الْبَحْرَيْنِ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ مِنْكَ قَالَ أَيْ رَبِّ فَكَيْفَ لِي بِهِ قَالَ تَأْخُذُ حُوتًا فَتَجْعَلُهُ فِي مِكْتَلٍ فَحَيْثُ مَا فَقَدْتَ الْحُوتَ فَهُوَ ثَمَّ قَالَ فَأَخَذَ الْحُوتَ فَجَعَلَهُ فِي الْمِكْتَلِ فَدَفَعَهُ إِلَى فَتَاهُ فَانْطَلَقَا حَتَّى أَتَيَا الصَّخْرَةَ فَرَقَدَ مُوسَى فَاضْطَرَبَ الْحُوتُ فِي الْمِكْتَلِ فَخَرَجَ فَوَقَعَ فِي الْبَحْرِ فَأَمْسَكَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ جَرْيَةَ الْمَاءِ فَصَارَ مِثْلَ الطَّاقِ فَكَانَ الْبَحْرُ لِلْحُوتِ سَرَبًا وَلِمُوسَى وَلِفَتَاهُ عَجَبًا فَانْطَلَقَا يَمْشِيَانِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ وَجَدَ مُوسَى النَّصَبَ فَقَالَ {آتِنَا غَدَاءَنَا لَقَدْ لَقِينَا مِنْ سَفَرِنَا هَذَا نَصَبًا}

✧ I said to Ibn 'Abbas: 'Nawf al-Bikali claims that Moses ﷺ is not the companion of al-Khidr, but it was another Moses.' He said: 'The enemy of Allah has lied. Ubayy b. Ka'b informed us from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he said: "Moses stood up among the Children of Israel as a preacher, and it was said to him: 'Who is the most knowledgeable of people?' He said: 'I am.' Allah reproached him for not attributing knowledge to Him, so He said: 'A servant of Mine at the junction of the two seas is more knowledgeable than you.' He said: 'O Lord, how can I reach him?' He said: 'Take a fish and put it in a basket; wherever you lose the fish, he will be there.' So he took the fish and placed it in the basket and gave it to his servant. They set out until they came to the rock. Moses slept, and the fish stirred in the basket, came out, and fell into the sea. Allah held back the flow of water for it, making it like an arch, so that the sea became a path for the fish, and a wonder for Moses and his servant. They went on walking. When it was the next day, Moses felt fatigue and said: 'Bring us our meal; we have certainly met with fatigue from this journey of ours.'"
