- Narrated Saeed Bin Jubair: I said to Ibn Abbas; Nauf AlBukah claims that Moses; the companion of AlKhadir was not Moses the prophet of the children of Israel; but some other Moses. Ibn Abbas said; Allah enemy i.e. Nauf has told a lie. Ubai Bin Kaab told us that the Prophet ﷺ said; Once Moses stood up and addressed Bani Israel. He was asked who was the most learned man amongst the people. He said; I. Allah admonished him as he did not attribute absolute knowledge to Him Allah. So; Allah said to him; Yes; at the junction of the two seas there is a Slave of Mine who is more learned than you. Moses said; O my Lord! How can I meet him? Allah said; Take a fish and put it in a large basket and you will find him at the place where you will lose the fish. Moses took a fish and put it in a basket and proceeded along with his servant boy; Yusha Bin Noon; till they reached the rock where they laid their heads i.e. lay down. Moses slept; and the fish; moving out of the basket; fell into the sea. It took its way into the sea straight as in a tunnel. Allah stopped the flow of water over the fish and it became like an arch the Prophet ﷺ pointed out this arch with his hands. They travelled the rest of the night; and the next day Moses said to his boy servant ; Give us our food; for indeed; we have suffered much fatigue in this journey of ours. Moses did not feel tired till he crossed that place which Allah had ordered him to seek after. His boy servant said to him; Do you know that when we were sitting near that rock; I forgot the fish; and none but Satan caused me to forget to tell you about it; and it took its course into the sea in an amazing way?. So there was a path for the fish and that astonished them. Moses said; That was what we were seeking after. So; both of them retraced their footsteps till they reached the rock. There they saw a man Lying covered with a garment. Moses greeted him and he replied saying; How do people greet each other in your land? Moses said; I am Moses. The man asked; Moses of Bani Israel? Moses said; Yes; I have come to you so that you may teach me from those things which Allah has taught you. He said; O Moses! I have some of the Knowledge of Allah which Allah has taught me; and which you do not know; while you have some of the Knowledge of Allah which Allah has taught you and which I do not know. Moses asked; May I follow you? He said; But you will not be able to remain patient with me for how can you be patient about things which you will not be able to understand? Moses said; You will find me; if Allah so will; truly patient; and I will not disobey you in aught. So; both of them set out walking along the sea-shore; a boat passed by them and they asked the crew of the boat to take them on board. The crew recognized AlKhadir and so they took them on board without fare. When they were on board the boat; a sparrow came and stood on the edge of the boat and dipped its beak once or twice into the sea. AlKhadir said to Moses; O Moses! My knowledge and your knowledge have not decreased Allah Knowledge except as much as this sparrow has decreased the water of the sea with its beak. Then suddenly AlKhadir took an adze and plucked a plank; and Moses did not notice it till he had plucked a plank with the adze. Moses said to him; What have you done? They took us on board charging us nothing; yet you I have intentionally made a hole in their boat so as to drown its passengers. Verily; you have done a dreadful thing. AlKhadir replied; Did I not tell you that you would not be able to remain patient with me? Moses replied; Do not blame me for what I have forgotten; and do not be hard upon me for my fault. So the first excuse of Moses was that he had forgotten. When they had left the sea; they passed by a boy playing with other boys. AlKhadir took hold of the boys head and plucked it with his hand like this. Sufyan; the sub narrator pointed with his fingertips as if he was plucking some fruit. Moses said to him; Have you killed an innocent person who has not killed any person? You have really done a horrible thing. AlKhadir said; Did I not tell you that you could not remain patient with me? Moses said If I ask you about anything after this; dont accompany me. You have received an excuse from me. Then both of them went on till they came to some people of a village; and they asked its inhabitant for wood but they refused to entertain them as guests. Then they saw therein a wall which was just going to collapse and AlKhadir repaired it just by touching it with his hands. Sufyan; the sub-narrator; pointed with his hands; illustrating how AlKhadir passed his hands over the wall upwards. Moses said; These are the people whom we have called on; but they neither gave us food; nor entertained us as guests; yet you have repaired their wall. If you had wished; you could have taken wages for it. AlKhadir said; This is the parting between you and me; and I shall tell you the explanation of those things on which you could not remain patient. The Prophet ﷺ added; We wished that Moses could have remained patient by virtue of which Allah might have told us more about their story. Sufyan the sub-narrator said that the Prophet ﷺ said; May Allah bestow His Mercy on Moses! If he had remained patient; we would have been told further about their case. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4196
- Narrated Saeed Bin Jubair: I said to Ibn Abbas: Nawf AlBikali claims that Mousa; of Banu Israil is not the companion of AlKhidr. He said: The enemy of Allah has lied. I heard Ubay Bin Kaab saying: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say Mousa stood to deliver a Khutbah to the children of Israil. He was asked: Who is the most knowledgeable among the people? He said: I am the most knowledgeable. So Allah admonished him; since he did not refer the knowledge back to Him. Allah revealed to him: A slave; among My slaves at the junction of the two seas; is more knowledgeable than you. So Mousa said: O Lord! How can I meet him? He said to him: Carry a fish in a basket; wherever you lose the fish; then he is there. So he set off; and his boy set off with him - and he was Yusha Bin Nun. Mousa put a fish in a basket; he and the boy set off walking; until when they reached a rock; Mousa and his boy fell asleep. The fish was flopping around in the basket; falling into the sea. He said: Allah held back the flow of water until it was like a tunnel; and the fish could glide. Mousa and his boy were amazed. They set off the remainder of the day and the night; and Mousa companion forgot to inform him of the escape of the fish. When Mousa arose in the morning; he said to his boy: Bring us our morning meal; truly we have suffered much fatigue in this; our journey 18:62. He said: He had not gotten tired until he passed the place which Allah had ordered him to go. He said: Do you remember when we betook ourselves to the rock? I indeed forgot the fish; none but Shaitan made me forget to remember it. It took its course into the sea in a strange way 18:63. Mousa said: That is what we have been seeking. So they went back; retracing their tracks 18:64. He said: So they began retracing their tracks. Sufyan one of the narrators said: People claim that there is a spring of life at that rock; no dying person has its water poured over him; but he becomes alive; and the fish came in contact with some of it; so when the water dropped on it he became alive. He [the Prophet ﷺ ] said: They retraced their tracks until they arrived at the rock to see a man covered in a garment. Mousa greeted him; and he replied: Is there such a greeting in your land? He said: I am Mousa. He said: Mousa of the children of Israil? He said: Yes. He said: O Mousa! Indeed you have some knowledge from Allah; which Allah taught you; which I have not been taught; and I have some knowledge from Allah; which Allah taught me; which you have not been taught. So Mousa said: May I follow you so that you may teach me something of the knowledge which you have been taught? 18:66 He said: Verily; you will not be able to have patience with me! And how can you have patience about a thing which you know not? He said: If Allah wills; you will find me patient; and I will not disobey you at all 18:67-69. AlKhadir said to him: Then if you follow me; ask me not about anything until I myself mention it to you 18:70. Mousa said: Yes. So Mousa and AlKhadir set off walking along the shore of the sea. A boat was passing by them; and they spoke to them the crew asking them to let them get on board. They recognized AlKhadir so they let the two of them ride without charge. AlKhadir took one of the planks in the boat and removed it; so Mousa said to him: These people gave us a ride free of charge; yet you sabotaged their boat so that its people will drown. Indeed you have done a dreadful thing 18:71. He said: Did I not tell you that you would not be able to have patience with me? 18:72. He said call me not to account for what I forgot; and be not hard upon me for my affair 18:73. Then they exited the boat; and while they were walking upon the shore; they saw a boy playing with two other boys. So AlKhadir took him by his head; pulling it off with his hands; and he killed him. So Mousa said to him: Have you killed an innocent person who killed no one! Verily you have done a horrendous thing 18:74. He said: Did I not tell you that you would not be able to have patience with me? 18:75 - he the narrator said: - This was more severe than the first one - He said: If I ask you about anything after this; you have received an excuse from me. So they both proceeded until they came to the inhabitants of a town. They asked them for food but they refused to entertain them. There they found a wall on the verge of falling down 18:76 & 77. He the narrator said: - meaning leaning over - So AlKhadir took his hand like this; so he set it up straight 18:77 so Mousa said to him: We arrived at these people; they did not treat us as guests nor feed us. If you wished; surely you could have taken wages for it! He said: This is the parting between you and I. I will tell you the interpretation of those things over which you were not able to be patient 18:77 & 78. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: May Allah have mercy upon Mousa! We wish that he would have had patience; so that we could have more knowledge about that two of them. He said: So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The first time Mousa had forgotten. He said: And a sparrow came; until it perched on the edge of a boat; and pecked at the sea. So AlKhadir said to him: My knowledge and your knowledge do not diminish anything from the knowledge of Allah; but like what this sparrow diminishes of the sea. Saeed Bin Jubair said: and he would - meaning Ibn Abbas - recite: And there was before them a king who would take every useful boat by force 18:79. And he would recite: As for the boy; he was a disbeliever 18:80. SunanAlTermithi-017-001-10026
- Narrated Saeed Bin Jubair: I said to Ibn Abbas; Nauf AlBakali claims that Moses the companion of Khadir was not the Moses of Bani Israel but he was another Moses. Ibn Abbas remarked that the enemy of Allah Nauf was a liar.Narrated Ubai Bin Kaab The Prophet ﷺ said; Once the Prophet ﷺ Moses stood up and addressed Bani Israel. He was asked; Who is the most learned man amongst the people. He said; I am the most learned. Allah admonished Moses as he did not attribute absolute knowledge to Him Allah. So Allah inspired to him At the junction of the two seas there is a slave amongst my slaves who is more learned than you. Moses said; O my Lord! How can I meet him? Allah said: Take a fish in a large basket and proceed and you will find him at the place where you will lose the fish. So Moses set out along with his servant boy; Yusha Bin Noon and carried a fish in a large basket till they reached a rock; where they laid their heads i.e. lay down and slept. The fish came out of the basket and it took its way into the sea as in a tunnel. So it was an amazing thing for both Moses and his servant boy. They proceeded for the rest of that night and the following day. When the day broke; Moses said to his servant boy: Bring us our early meal. No doubt; we have suffered much fatigue in this journey. Moses did not get tired till he passed the place about which he was told. There the servant boy told Moses; Do you remember when we betook ourselves to the rock; I indeed forgot the fish. Moses remarked; That is what we have been seeking. So they went back retracing their footsteps; till they reached the rock. There they saw a man covered with a garment or covering himself with his own garment. Moses greeted him. AlKhadir replied saying; How do people greet each other in your land? Moses said; I am Moses. He asked; The Moses of Bani Israel? Moses replied in the affirmative and added; May I follow you so that you teach me of that knowledge which you have been taught. AlKhadir replied; Verily! You will not be able to remain patient with me; O Moses! I have some of the knowledge of Allah which He has taught me and which you do not know; while you have some knowledge which Allah has taught you which I do not know. Moses said; Allah willing; you will find me patient and I will disobey no order of yours. So both of them set out walking along the seashore; as they did not have a boat. In the meantime a boat passed by them and they requested the crew of the boat to take them on board. The crew recognized AlKhadir and took them on board without fare. Then a sparrow came and stood on the edge of the boat and dipped its beak once or twice in the sea. AlKhadir said: O Moses! My knowledge and your knowledge have not decreased Allah knowledge except as much as this sparrow has decreased the water of the sea with its beak. AlKhadir went to one of the planks of the boat and plucked it out. Moses said; These people gave us a free lift but you have broken their boat and scuttled it so as to drown its people. AlKhadir replied; Didnt I tell you that you will not be able to remain patient with me. Moses said; Call me not to account for what I forgot. The first excuse of Moses was that he had forgotten. Then they proceeded further and found a boy playing with other boys. AlKhadir took hold of the boy head from the top and plucked it out with his hands i.e. killed him. Moses said; Have you killed an innocent soul who has killed none. AlKhadir replied; Did I not tell you that you cannot remain patient with me? Then they both proceeded till when they came to the people of a town; they asked them for food; but they refused to entertain them. Then they found there a wall on the point of collapsing. AlKhadir repaired it with his own hands. Moses said; If you had wished; surely you could have taken wages for it. AlKhadir replied; This is the parting between you and me. The Prophet added; May Allah be Merciful to Moses! Would that he could have been more patient to learn more about his story with AlKhadir. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-6178
- Narrated Saeed Bin Jubair: I said to Ibn Abbas; Nauf AlBikali claims that Moses; the companion of AlKhadir was not the Moses of the children of Israel Ibn Abbas said; The enemy of Allah Nauf told a lie. Narrated Ubai Bin Kaab that he heard Allah Messenger ﷺ saying; Moses got up to deliver a speech before the children of Israel and he was asked; Who is the most learned person among the people? Moses replied; I am the most learned. Allah admonished him for he did not ascribe knowledge to Allah alone. So Allah revealed to him: At the junction of the two seas there is a slave of Ours who is more learned than you. Moses asked; O my Lord; how can I meet him? Allah said; Take a fish and put it in a basket and set out ; and where you; will lose the fish; you will find him. So Moses took a fish and put it in a basket and set out; along with his boy-servant Yusha Bin Noon; till they reached a rock on which they both lay their heads and slept. The fish moved vigorously in the basket and got out of it and fell into the sea and there it took its way through the sea straight as in a tunnel. 18.61 Allah stopped the current of water on both sides of the way created by the fish; and so that way was like a tunnel. When Moses got up; his companion forgot to tell him about the fish; and so they carried on their journey during the rest of the day and the whole night. The next morning Moses asked his boy-servant Bring us our early meal; no doubt; we have suffered much fatigue in this journey of ours. 18.62 Moses did not get tired till he had passed the place which Allah had ordered him to seek after. His boy-servant then said to him; Do you remember when we be-took ourselves to the rock I indeed forgot the fish; none but Satan made me forget to remember it. It took its course into the sea in a marvelous way. 18.63 There was a tunnel for the fish and for Moses and his boy-servant there was astonishment. Moses said; That is what we have been seeking. So they went back retracing their footsteps. 18.64 They both returned; retracing their steps till they reached the rock. Behold ! There they found a man covered with a garment. Moses greeted him. AlKhadir said astonishingly. Is there such a greeting in your land? Moses said; I am Moses. He said; Are you the Moses of the children of Israel? Moses said; I have come to you so that you may teach me of what you have been taught. AlKhadir said; You will not be able to have patience with me. 18.66 O Moses! I have some of Allah knowledge which He has bestowed upon me but you do not know it; and you too; have some of Allah knowledge which He has bestowed upon you; but I do not know it. Moses said; Allah willing; you will find me patient; and I will not disobey you in anything. 18.6 AlKhadir said to him. If you then follow me; do not ask me about anything until I myself speak to you concerning it. 18.70 ; After that both of them proceeded along the sea coast; till a boat passed by and they requested the crew to let them go on board. The crew recognized AlKhadir and allowed them to get on board free of charge. When they got on board suddenly Moses saw that AlKhadir had pulled out one of the planks of the boat with an adze. Moses said to him. These people gave us a free lift; yet you have scuttled their boat so as to drown its people! Truly; you have done a dreadful thing. 18.71 AlKhadir said; Didnt I say that you can have no patience with me ? 18.72 Moses said; Call me not to account for what I forgot and be not hard upon me for my affair with you. 18.73 Allah Messenger ﷺ said; The first excuse given by Moses; was that he had forgotten. Then a sparrow came and sat over the edge of the boat and dipped its beak once in the sea. AlKhadir said to Moses; My knowledge and your knowledge; compared to Allah knowledge is like what this sparrow has taken out of the sea. Then they both got out of the boat; and while they were walking on the sea shore; AlKhadir saw a boy playing with other boys. AlKhadir got hold of the head of that boy and pulled it out with his hands and killed him. Moses said; Have you killed an innocent soul who has killed nobody! Truly; you have done an illegal thing. 18.74 He said; Didnt I tell you that you can have no patience with me? 18.75 The sub narrator said; the second blame was stronger than the first one. Moses said; If I ask you about anything after this; keep me not in your company; you have received an excuse from me. 18.76 Then they both proceeded until they came to the inhabitants of a town. They asked them food but they refused to entertain them. In that town they found there a wall on the point of falling down. 18.77 AlKhadir set it up straight with his own hands. Moses said; These are people to whom we came; but they neither fed us nor received us as guests. If you had wished; you could surely have exacted some recompense for it. AlKhadir said; This is the parting between me and you..that is the interpretation of those things over which you were unable to hold patience. 18.78-82 Allah Messenger ﷺ said; We wished that Moses could have been more patient so that Allah might have described to us more about their story. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-7039
- Saeed Bin jubair reported: I said to Ibn Abbas that Nauf AlBikali was of the opinion that Moses ﷺ ; the Apostle of Bani Israil; was not the same who accompanied Khadir; whereupon he said: The enemy of Allah tells a lie. I heard Ubay Bin Kaab say: Moses ﷺ stood up to give sermon to the people of Israil. He was asked as to who amongst the people has the best knowledge; whereupon he said: I have the best knowledge. Thereupon Allah was annoyed with him that he did not attribute the best knowledge to Him. He revealed to him: A servant amongst My servants is at the junction of two rivers who has more knowledge than yours. Moses said: How can I meet him? It was said to him: Carry a fish in the large basket and the place where you find it missing there you will find him. Thereupon Moses proceeded forth along with a young man Yusha. Joshua Bin Nan and Moses ﷺ put the fish in the basket and there went along with him the young man Yusha until they came to a certain rock and Moses and his companion went to sleep and the fish stirred in that basket and fell into the ocean and Allah stopped the current of water like a vault until the way was made for the fish. Moses and his youn. companion were astonished and they walked for the rest of the day and the night and the friend of Moses forgot to inform him of this incident. When it was morning; Moses ﷺ said to the young man: Bring for us the breakfast for we are dead tired because of this journey; and they did not feel exhausted until they had passed that place where they had been commanded to stay. He said: Dont you know that when we reached the Sakhra rock I forgot the fisii and noth ng made me forget it but the satan that I. could nit remember it? How strange is it that the fish found a way in the river? Moses said: That was what we had been aiming at. Then both of them retraced their steps until they reached Sakhra; there they saw a man covered with a cloth. Moses greeted him. Khadir said to him: Where is AlSalam in our country.? He said: I am Moses; whereupon he Khadir said: You mean the Moses of Bani Israil? He said: Yes. He Khadir said: You have a knowledge out of the knowledge of Allah which in fact Allah imparted to you and about that I know nothing and I have knowledge out of Allah knowledge which He imparted to me and about that you do not know. Moses ﷺ said to him: May I follow you so that you may teach me that with which you have been taught righteousness. He said: You will not be able to bear with me; how you will be able to bear that about which you do not know? Moses said: Thou wilt find me patient; nor shalt I disobey you in aught. Khadir said to him: If you were to follow me; then do not ask me about anything until I myself speak to you about it. He said: Yes. So Khadir and Moses set forth on the bank of the river that there came before them a boat. Both of theni talked to them the owners of the boat so that they might carry both of them. They had recognised Khadir and they carried them free. Khadir thereupon took hold of a plank in the boat and broke it away. Moses said: These people have carried us without any charge and you attempt to break their boat so that the people sailing in the boat may drown. This is something grievous that you have done. He said: Did I not say that you would not bear with me? He said: Blame me not for what I forgot and be not hard upon what I did. Then both of them got down from the boat and began to walk along the coastline that they saw a boy who had been playing with other boys. Khadir pulled up his head and killed him. Moses said: Have you killed an innocent person who is in no way guilty of slaying another? You have done something horrible. Thereupon he said: Did I not say to you that you will not be able to bear with me? He Moses said: This act is more grievous than the first one. He Moses further said. If I ask you about anything after this; keep not company with me; then you would no doubt find a plausible excuse for this. Then they both walked on until they reached the inhabitants of a village. They asked its inhabitants for food but they refused to entertain them as their guests. They found in it a wall which had been bent on one side and was about to fall. Khadir set it right with his own hand. Moses; said to him: It is the people to whom we came but they showed us no hospitality and they did not serve us food. If you wish you can get wages for it. He Khadir said: This is the parting of ways between mt and you. Now I wish to reveal to you the significance of that for which you could not bear with me. Allah Messenger ﷺ said. May Allah have mercy upon Moses! I wish if Moses could show patience and a fuller story of both of them could have been told. Allah Messenger ﷺ said that the first thing which Moses said was out of forgetfulness. Then there came a sparrow until it perched on the wall of the boat and took water from the ocean. Thereupon; Khadir said: My knowledge and your knowledge in comparison with the knowledge of Allah is even less than the water taken by the sparrow in its beak in comparison to the water of the ocean; and Saeed Bin jubair used to recite verses 79 and 80 of Surat Kahf in this way: There was before them a king who used to seize every boat by force which was in order; the boy was an unbeliever. SahihMuslim-017-001-20169
- Narrated Saeed Bin Jubair: I said to Ibn Abbas; Nauf AlBakali claims that Moses of Bani Israel was not Moses; the companion of AlKhadir. Ibn Abbas said; Allah enemy tells a lie! Ubai Bin Kaab narrated to us that Allah Messenger ﷺ said; Moses got up to deliver a sermon before Bani Israel and he was asked; Who is the most learned person among the people? Moses replied; I am the most learned. Allah then admonished Moses for he did not ascribe all knowledge to Allah only Then came the Divine Inspiration:- Yes; one of Our slaves at the junction of the two seas is more learned than you. Moses said; O my Lord ! How can meet him? Allah said; Take a fish in a basket and wherever the fish is lost; follow it you will find him at that place. So Moses set out along with his attendant Yusha Bin Noon; and they carried with them a fish till they reached a rock and rested there. Moses put his head down and slept. Sufyan; a sub-narrator said that somebody other than Amr said At the rock there was a water spring called AlHayat and none came in touch with its water but became alive. So some of the water of that spring fell over that fish; so it moved and slipped out of the basket and entered the sea. When Moses woke up; he asked his attendant; Bring our early meal 18.62. The narrator added: Moses did not suffer from fatigue except after he had passed the place he had been ordered to observe. His attendant Yusha Bin Noon said to him; Do you remember what happened when we betook ourselves to the rock? I did indeed forget about the fish... 18.63 The narrator added: So they came back; retracing their steps and then they found in the sea; the way of the fish looking like a tunnel. So there was an astonishing event for his attendant; and there was tunnel for the fish. When they reached the rock; they found a man covered with a garment. Moses greeted him. The man said astonishingly; Is there any such greeting in your land? Moses said; I am Moses. The man said; Moses of Bani Israel? Moses said; Yes; and added; may I follow you so that you teach me something of the Knowledge which you have been taught? 18.66. AlKhadir said to him; O Moses! You have something of Allah knowledge which Allah has taught you and which I do not know; and I have something of Allah knowledge which Allah has taught me and which you do not know. Moses said; But I will follow you. AlKhadir said; Then if you follow me; ask me no question about anything until I myself speak to you concerning it. 18.70. After that both of them proceeded along the seashore. There passed by them a boat whose crew recognized AlKhadir and received them on board free of charge. So they both got on board. A sparrow came and sat on the edge of the boat and dipped its beak unto the sea. AlKhadir said to Moses. My knowledge and your knowledge and all the creation knowledge compared to Allah knowledge is not more than the water taken by this sparrow beak. Then Moses was startled by AlKhadir action of taking an adze and scuttling the boat with it. Moses said to him; These people gave us a free lift; but you intentionally scuttled their boat so as to drown them. Surely you have... 18.71 Then they both proceeded and found a boy playing with other boys. AlKhadir took hold of him by the head and cut it off. Moses said to him; Have you killed an innocent soul who has killed nobody? Surely you have done an illegal thing! 18.74 He said; Didnt I tell you that you will not be able to have patient with me up to..but they refused to entertain them as their guests. There they found a wall therein at the point of collapsing. 18.75-77 AlKhadir moved his hand thus and set it upright repaired it. Moses said to him; When we entered this town; they neither gave us hospitality nor fed us; if you had wished; you could have taken wages for it; AlKhadir said; This is the parting between you and me I will tell you the interpretation of those things about which you were unable to hold patience.... 18.78 Allah Messenger ﷺ said; We wished that Moses could have been more patient so that He Allah could have described to us more about their story. Ibn Abbas used to recite:- And in front ahead of them there was a king who used to seize every serviceable boat by force. 18.79...and as for the boy he was a disbeliever. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-7041
- It was narrated from Abu Huraira that: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: On Fridays the angels sit at the gates of the masjid writing down the peoples names in the order in which they come. So the people are like a man who sacrifices a camel and like a man who sacrifices a camel; then like a man who sacrifices a cow and like a man who sacrifices a cow; then like a man who sacrifices a sheep and like a man who sacrifices a sheep; then like a man who sacrifices a chicken and like a man who sacrifices a chicken; then like a man who sacrifices a sparrow and like a man who sacrifices a sparrow; then like a man who sacrifices an egg and like a man who sacrifices an egg.

- Anas Bin Malik reported that Allah Messenger ﷺ had the sublimest character among mankind. I had a brother who was called Abu Umair. I think he was weaned. When Allah Messenger may peace he upon him came to our house he saw him; and said: Abu Umair; what has the sparrow done? He Anas said that he had been playing with that. SahihMuslim-017-001-19925
- Anas Bin Malik said : The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to come to visit us. I had a younger brother who was called Abu Umair by Kunyah surname. He had a sparrow with which he played; but it died. So one day the prophet ﷺ came to see him and saw him grieved. He asked: What is the matter with him? The people replied: His sparrow has died. He then said: Abu Umair! What has happened to the little sparrow? SunanAbuDawoud-017-001-26912

- Narrated Saeed Bin Jubair: I said to Ibn Abbas; Nauf AlBikali claims that Moses; the companion of AlKhadir was not the Moses of the children of Israel Ibn Abbas said; The enemy of Allah Nauf told a lie. Narrated Ubai Bin Kaab that he heard Allah Messenger ﷺ saying; Moses got up to deliver a speech before the children of Israel and he was asked; Who is the most learned person among the people? Moses replied; I am the most learned. Allah admonished him for he did not ascribe knowledge to Allah alone. So Allah revealed to him: At the junction of the two seas there is a slave of Ours who is more learned than you. Moses asked; O my Lord; how can I meet him? Allah said; Take a fish and put it in a basket and set out ; and where you; will lose the fish; you will find him. So Moses took a fish and put it in a basket and set out; along with his boy-servant Yusha Bin Noon; till they reached a rock on which they both lay their heads and slept. The fish moved vigorously in the basket and got out of it and fell into the sea and there it took its way through the sea straight as in a tunnel. 18.61 Allah stopped the current of water on both sides of the way created by the fish; and so that way was like a tunnel. When Moses got up; his companion forgot to tell him about the fish; and so they carried on their journey during the rest of the day and the whole night. The next morning Moses asked his boy-servant Bring us our early meal; no doubt; we have suffered much fatigue in this journey of ours. 18.62 Moses did not get tired till he had passed the place which Allah had ordered him to seek after. His boy-servant then said to him; Do you remember when we be-took ourselves to the rock I indeed forgot the fish; none but Satan made me forget to remember it. It took its course into the sea in a marvelous way. 18.63 There was a tunnel for the fish and for Moses and his boy-servant there was astonishment. Moses said; That is what we have been seeking. So they went back retracing their footsteps. 18.64 They both returned; retracing their steps till they reached the rock. Behold ! There they found a man covered with a garment. Moses greeted him. AlKhadir said astonishingly. Is there such a greeting in your land? Moses said; I am Moses. He said; Are you the Moses of the children of Israel? Moses said; I have come to you so that you may teach me of what you have been taught. AlKhadir said; You will not be able to have patience with me. 18.66 O Moses! I have some of Allah knowledge which He has bestowed upon me but you do not know it; and you too; have some of Allah knowledge which He has bestowed upon you; but I do not know it. Moses said; Allah willing; you will find me patient; and I will not disobey you in anything. 18.6 AlKhadir said to him. If you then follow me; do not ask me about anything until I myself speak to you concerning it. 18.70 ; After that both of them proceeded along the sea coast; till a boat passed by and they requested the crew to let them go on board. The crew recognized AlKhadir and allowed them to get on board free of charge. When they got on board suddenly Moses saw that AlKhadir had pulled out one of the planks of the boat with an adze. Moses said to him. These people gave us a free lift; yet you have scuttled their boat so as to drown its people! Truly; you have done a dreadful thing. 18.71 AlKhadir said; Didnt I say that you can have no patience with me ? 18.72 Moses said; Call me not to account for what I forgot and be not hard upon me for my affair with you. 18.73 Allah Messenger ﷺ said; The first excuse given by Moses; was that he had forgotten. Then a sparrow came and sat over the edge of the boat and dipped its beak once in the sea. AlKhadir said to Moses; My knowledge and your knowledge; compared to Allah knowledge is like what this sparrow has taken out of the sea. Then they both got out of the boat; and while they were walking on the sea shore; AlKhadir saw a boy playing with other boys. AlKhadir got hold of the head of that boy and pulled it out with his hands and killed him. Moses said; Have you killed an innocent soul who has killed nobody! Truly; you have done an illegal thing. 18.74 He said; Didnt I tell you that you can have no patience with me? 18.75 The sub narrator said; the second blame was stronger than the first one. Moses said; If I ask you about anything after this; keep me not in your company; you have received an excuse from me. 18.76 Then they both proceeded until they came to the inhabitants of a town. They asked them food but they refused to entertain them. In that town they found there a wall on the point of falling down. 18.77 AlKhadir set it up straight with his own hands. Moses said; These are people to whom we came; but they neither fed us nor received us as guests. If you had wished; you could surely have exacted some recompense for it. AlKhadir said; This is the parting between me and you..that is the interpretation of those things over which you were unable to hold patience. 18.78-82 Allah Messenger ﷺ said; We wished that Moses could have been more patient so that Allah might have described to us more about their story. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-7039
- Saeed Bin jubair reported: I said to Ibn Abbas that Nauf AlBikali was of the opinion that Moses ﷺ ; the Apostle of Bani Israil; was not the same who accompanied Khadir; whereupon he said: The enemy of Allah tells a lie. I heard Ubay Bin Kaab say: Moses ﷺ stood up to give sermon to the people of Israil. He was asked as to who amongst the people has the best knowledge; whereupon he said: I have the best knowledge. Thereupon Allah was annoyed with him that he did not attribute the best knowledge to Him. He revealed to him: A servant amongst My servants is at the junction of two rivers who has more knowledge than yours. Moses said: How can I meet him? It was said to him: Carry a fish in the large basket and the place where you find it missing there you will find him. Thereupon Moses proceeded forth along with a young man Yusha. Joshua Bin Nan and Moses ﷺ put the fish in the basket and there went along with him the young man Yusha until they came to a certain rock and Moses and his companion went to sleep and the fish stirred in that basket and fell into the ocean and Allah stopped the current of water like a vault until the way was made for the fish. Moses and his youn. companion were astonished and they walked for the rest of the day and the night and the friend of Moses forgot to inform him of this incident. When it was morning; Moses ﷺ said to the young man: Bring for us the breakfast for we are dead tired because of this journey; and they did not feel exhausted until they had passed that place where they had been commanded to stay. He said: Dont you know that when we reached the Sakhra rock I forgot the fisii and noth ng made me forget it but the satan that I. could nit remember it? How strange is it that the fish found a way in the river? Moses said: That was what we had been aiming at. Then both of them retraced their steps until they reached Sakhra; there they saw a man covered with a cloth. Moses greeted him. Khadir said to him: Where is AlSalam in our country.? He said: I am Moses; whereupon he Khadir said: You mean the Moses of Bani Israil? He said: Yes. He Khadir said: You have a knowledge out of the knowledge of Allah which in fact Allah imparted to you and about that I know nothing and I have knowledge out of Allah knowledge which He imparted to me and about that you do not know. Moses ﷺ said to him: May I follow you so that you may teach me that with which you have been taught righteousness. He said: You will not be able to bear with me; how you will be able to bear that about which you do not know? Moses said: Thou wilt find me patient; nor shalt I disobey you in aught. Khadir said to him: If you were to follow me; then do not ask me about anything until I myself speak to you about it. He said: Yes. So Khadir and Moses set forth on the bank of the river that there came before them a boat. Both of theni talked to them the owners of the boat so that they might carry both of them. They had recognised Khadir and they carried them free. Khadir thereupon took hold of a plank in the boat and broke it away. Moses said: These people have carried us without any charge and you attempt to break their boat so that the people sailing in the boat may drown. This is something grievous that you have done. He said: Did I not say that you would not bear with me? He said: Blame me not for what I forgot and be not hard upon what I did. Then both of them got down from the boat and began to walk along the coastline that they saw a boy who had been playing with other boys. Khadir pulled up his head and killed him. Moses said: Have you killed an innocent person who is in no way guilty of slaying another? You have done something horrible. Thereupon he said: Did I not say to you that you will not be able to bear with me? He Moses said: This act is more grievous than the first one. He Moses further said. If I ask you about anything after this; keep not company with me; then you would no doubt find a plausible excuse for this. Then they both walked on until they reached the inhabitants of a village. They asked its inhabitants for food but they refused to entertain them as their guests. They found in it a wall which had been bent on one side and was about to fall. Khadir set it right with his own hand. Moses; said to him: It is the people to whom we came but they showed us no hospitality and they did not serve us food. If you wish you can get wages for it. He Khadir said: This is the parting of ways between mt and you. Now I wish to reveal to you the significance of that for which you could not bear with me. Allah Messenger ﷺ said. May Allah have mercy upon Moses! I wish if Moses could show patience and a fuller story of both of them could have been told. Allah Messenger ﷺ said that the first thing which Moses said was out of forgetfulness. Then there came a sparrow until it perched on the wall of the boat and took water from the ocean. Thereupon; Khadir said: My knowledge and your knowledge in comparison with the knowledge of Allah is even less than the water taken by the sparrow in its beak in comparison to the water of the ocean; and Saeed Bin jubair used to recite verses 79 and 80 of Surat Kahf in this way: There was before them a king who used to seize every boat by force which was in order; the boy was an unbeliever. SahihMuslim-017-001-20169
- Narrated Saeed Bin Jubair: I said to Ibn Abbas; Nauf AlBukah claims that Moses; the companion of AlKhadir was not Moses the prophet of the children of Israel; but some other Moses. Ibn Abbas said; Allah enemy i.e. Nauf has told a lie. Ubai Bin Kaab told us that the Prophet ﷺ said; Once Moses stood up and addressed Bani Israel. He was asked who was the most learned man amongst the people. He said; I. Allah admonished him as he did not attribute absolute knowledge to Him Allah. So; Allah said to him; Yes; at the junction of the two seas there is a Slave of Mine who is more learned than you. Moses said; O my Lord! How can I meet him? Allah said; Take a fish and put it in a large basket and you will find him at the place where you will lose the fish. Moses took a fish and put it in a basket and proceeded along with his servant boy; Yusha Bin Noon; till they reached the rock where they laid their heads i.e. lay down. Moses slept; and the fish; moving out of the basket; fell into the sea. It took its way into the sea straight as in a tunnel. Allah stopped the flow of water over the fish and it became like an arch the Prophet ﷺ pointed out this arch with his hands. They travelled the rest of the night; and the next day Moses said to his boy servant ; Give us our food; for indeed; we have suffered much fatigue in this journey of ours. Moses did not feel tired till he crossed that place which Allah had ordered him to seek after. His boy servant said to him; Do you know that when we were sitting near that rock; I forgot the fish; and none but Satan caused me to forget to tell you about it; and it took its course into the sea in an amazing way?. So there was a path for the fish and that astonished them. Moses said; That was what we were seeking after. So; both of them retraced their footsteps till they reached the rock. There they saw a man Lying covered with a garment. Moses greeted him and he replied saying; How do people greet each other in your land? Moses said; I am Moses. The man asked; Moses of Bani Israel? Moses said; Yes; I have come to you so that you may teach me from those things which Allah has taught you. He said; O Moses! I have some of the Knowledge of Allah which Allah has taught me; and which you do not know; while you have some of the Knowledge of Allah which Allah has taught you and which I do not know. Moses asked; May I follow you? He said; But you will not be able to remain patient with me for how can you be patient about things which you will not be able to understand? Moses said; You will find me; if Allah so will; truly patient; and I will not disobey you in aught. So; both of them set out walking along the sea-shore; a boat passed by them and they asked the crew of the boat to take them on board. The crew recognized AlKhadir and so they took them on board without fare. When they were on board the boat; a sparrow came and stood on the edge of the boat and dipped its beak once or twice into the sea. AlKhadir said to Moses; O Moses! My knowledge and your knowledge have not decreased Allah Knowledge except as much as this sparrow has decreased the water of the sea with its beak. Then suddenly AlKhadir took an adze and plucked a plank; and Moses did not notice it till he had plucked a plank with the adze. Moses said to him; What have you done? They took us on board charging us nothing; yet you I have intentionally made a hole in their boat so as to drown its passengers. Verily; you have done a dreadful thing. AlKhadir replied; Did I not tell you that you would not be able to remain patient with me? Moses replied; Do not blame me for what I have forgotten; and do not be hard upon me for my fault. So the first excuse of Moses was that he had forgotten. When they had left the sea; they passed by a boy playing with other boys. AlKhadir took hold of the boys head and plucked it with his hand like this. Sufyan; the sub narrator pointed with his fingertips as if he was plucking some fruit. Moses said to him; Have you killed an innocent person who has not killed any person? You have really done a horrible thing. AlKhadir said; Did I not tell you that you could not remain patient with me? Moses said If I ask you about anything after this; dont accompany me. You have received an excuse from me. Then both of them went on till they came to some people of a village; and they asked its inhabitant for wood but they refused to entertain them as guests. Then they saw therein a wall which was just going to collapse and AlKhadir repaired it just by touching it with his hands. Sufyan; the sub-narrator; pointed with his hands; illustrating how AlKhadir passed his hands over the wall upwards. Moses said; These are the people whom we have called on; but they neither gave us food; nor entertained us as guests; yet you have repaired their wall. If you had wished; you could have taken wages for it. AlKhadir said; This is the parting between you and me; and I shall tell you the explanation of those things on which you could not remain patient. The Prophet ﷺ added; We wished that Moses could have remained patient by virtue of which Allah might have told us more about their story. Sufyan the sub-narrator said that the Prophet ﷺ said; May Allah bestow His Mercy on Moses! If he had remained patient; we would have been told further about their case. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4196
- Narrated Saeed Bin Jubair: I said to Ibn Abbas; Nauf AlBakali claims that Moses the companion of Khadir was not the Moses of Bani Israel but he was another Moses. Ibn Abbas remarked that the enemy of Allah Nauf was a liar.Narrated Ubai Bin Kaab The Prophet ﷺ said; Once the Prophet ﷺ Moses stood up and addressed Bani Israel. He was asked; Who is the most learned man amongst the people. He said; I am the most learned. Allah admonished Moses as he did not attribute absolute knowledge to Him Allah. So Allah inspired to him At the junction of the two seas there is a slave amongst my slaves who is more learned than you. Moses said; O my Lord! How can I meet him? Allah said: Take a fish in a large basket and proceed and you will find him at the place where you will lose the fish. So Moses set out along with his servant boy; Yusha Bin Noon and carried a fish in a large basket till they reached a rock; where they laid their heads i.e. lay down and slept. The fish came out of the basket and it took its way into the sea as in a tunnel. So it was an amazing thing for both Moses and his servant boy. They proceeded for the rest of that night and the following day. When the day broke; Moses said to his servant boy: Bring us our early meal. No doubt; we have suffered much fatigue in this journey. Moses did not get tired till he passed the place about which he was told. There the servant boy told Moses; Do you remember when we betook ourselves to the rock; I indeed forgot the fish. Moses remarked; That is what we have been seeking. So they went back retracing their footsteps; till they reached the rock. There they saw a man covered with a garment or covering himself with his own garment. Moses greeted him. AlKhadir replied saying; How do people greet each other in your land? Moses said; I am Moses. He asked; The Moses of Bani Israel? Moses replied in the affirmative and added; May I follow you so that you teach me of that knowledge which you have been taught. AlKhadir replied; Verily! You will not be able to remain patient with me; O Moses! I have some of the knowledge of Allah which He has taught me and which you do not know; while you have some knowledge which Allah has taught you which I do not know. Moses said; Allah willing; you will find me patient and I will disobey no order of yours. So both of them set out walking along the seashore; as they did not have a boat. In the meantime a boat passed by them and they requested the crew of the boat to take them on board. The crew recognized AlKhadir and took them on board without fare. Then a sparrow came and stood on the edge of the boat and dipped its beak once or twice in the sea. AlKhadir said: O Moses! My knowledge and your knowledge have not decreased Allah knowledge except as much as this sparrow has decreased the water of the sea with its beak. AlKhadir went to one of the planks of the boat and plucked it out. Moses said; These people gave us a free lift but you have broken their boat and scuttled it so as to drown its people. AlKhadir replied; Didnt I tell you that you will not be able to remain patient with me. Moses said; Call me not to account for what I forgot. The first excuse of Moses was that he had forgotten. Then they proceeded further and found a boy playing with other boys. AlKhadir took hold of the boy head from the top and plucked it out with his hands i.e. killed him. Moses said; Have you killed an innocent soul who has killed none. AlKhadir replied; Did I not tell you that you cannot remain patient with me? Then they both proceeded till when they came to the people of a town; they asked them for food; but they refused to entertain them. Then they found there a wall on the point of collapsing. AlKhadir repaired it with his own hands. Moses said; If you had wished; surely you could have taken wages for it. AlKhadir replied; This is the parting between you and me. The Prophet added; May Allah be Merciful to Moses! Would that he could have been more patient to learn more about his story with AlKhadir. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-6178
- Narrated Saeed Bin Jubair: I said to Ibn Abbas: Nawf AlBikali claims that Mousa; of Banu Israil is not the companion of AlKhidr. He said: The enemy of Allah has lied. I heard Ubay Bin Kaab saying: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say Mousa stood to deliver a Khutbah to the children of Israil. He was asked: Who is the most knowledgeable among the people? He said: I am the most knowledgeable. So Allah admonished him; since he did not refer the knowledge back to Him. Allah revealed to him: A slave; among My slaves at the junction of the two seas; is more knowledgeable than you. So Mousa said: O Lord! How can I meet him? He said to him: Carry a fish in a basket; wherever you lose the fish; then he is there. So he set off; and his boy set off with him - and he was Yusha Bin Nun. Mousa put a fish in a basket; he and the boy set off walking; until when they reached a rock; Mousa and his boy fell asleep. The fish was flopping around in the basket; falling into the sea. He said: Allah held back the flow of water until it was like a tunnel; and the fish could glide. Mousa and his boy were amazed. They set off the remainder of the day and the night; and Mousa companion forgot to inform him of the escape of the fish. When Mousa arose in the morning; he said to his boy: Bring us our morning meal; truly we have suffered much fatigue in this; our journey 18:62. He said: He had not gotten tired until he passed the place which Allah had ordered him to go. He said: Do you remember when we betook ourselves to the rock? I indeed forgot the fish; none but Shaitan made me forget to remember it. It took its course into the sea in a strange way 18:63. Mousa said: That is what we have been seeking. So they went back; retracing their tracks 18:64. He said: So they began retracing their tracks. Sufyan one of the narrators said: People claim that there is a spring of life at that rock; no dying person has its water poured over him; but he becomes alive; and the fish came in contact with some of it; so when the water dropped on it he became alive. He [the Prophet ﷺ ] said: They retraced their tracks until they arrived at the rock to see a man covered in a garment. Mousa greeted him; and he replied: Is there such a greeting in your land? He said: I am Mousa. He said: Mousa of the children of Israil? He said: Yes. He said: O Mousa! Indeed you have some knowledge from Allah; which Allah taught you; which I have not been taught; and I have some knowledge from Allah; which Allah taught me; which you have not been taught. So Mousa said: May I follow you so that you may teach me something of the knowledge which you have been taught? 18:66 He said: Verily; you will not be able to have patience with me! And how can you have patience about a thing which you know not? He said: If Allah wills; you will find me patient; and I will not disobey you at all 18:67-69. AlKhadir said to him: Then if you follow me; ask me not about anything until I myself mention it to you 18:70. Mousa said: Yes. So Mousa and AlKhadir set off walking along the shore of the sea. A boat was passing by them; and they spoke to them the crew asking them to let them get on board. They recognized AlKhadir so they let the two of them ride without charge. AlKhadir took one of the planks in the boat and removed it; so Mousa said to him: These people gave us a ride free of charge; yet you sabotaged their boat so that its people will drown. Indeed you have done a dreadful thing 18:71. He said: Did I not tell you that you would not be able to have patience with me? 18:72. He said call me not to account for what I forgot; and be not hard upon me for my affair 18:73. Then they exited the boat; and while they were walking upon the shore; they saw a boy playing with two other boys. So AlKhadir took him by his head; pulling it off with his hands; and he killed him. So Mousa said to him: Have you killed an innocent person who killed no one! Verily you have done a horrendous thing 18:74. He said: Did I not tell you that you would not be able to have patience with me? 18:75 - he the narrator said: - This was more severe than the first one - He said: If I ask you about anything after this; you have received an excuse from me. So they both proceeded until they came to the inhabitants of a town. They asked them for food but they refused to entertain them. There they found a wall on the verge of falling down 18:76 & 77. He the narrator said: - meaning leaning over - So AlKhadir took his hand like this; so he set it up straight 18:77 so Mousa said to him: We arrived at these people; they did not treat us as guests nor feed us. If you wished; surely you could have taken wages for it! He said: This is the parting between you and I. I will tell you the interpretation of those things over which you were not able to be patient 18:77 & 78. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: May Allah have mercy upon Mousa! We wish that he would have had patience; so that we could have more knowledge about that two of them. He said: So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The first time Mousa had forgotten. He said: And a sparrow came; until it perched on the edge of a boat; and pecked at the sea. So AlKhadir said to him: My knowledge and your knowledge do not diminish anything from the knowledge of Allah; but like what this sparrow diminishes of the sea. Saeed Bin Jubair said: and he would - meaning Ibn Abbas - recite: And there was before them a king who would take every useful boat by force 18:79. And he would recite: As for the boy; he was a disbeliever 18:80. SunanAlTermithi-017-001-10026
- Narrated Saeed Bin Jubair: I said to Ibn Abbas; Nauf AlBakali claims that Moses of Bani Israel was not Moses; the companion of AlKhadir. Ibn Abbas said; Allah enemy tells a lie! Ubai Bin Kaab narrated to us that Allah Messenger ﷺ said; Moses got up to deliver a sermon before Bani Israel and he was asked; Who is the most learned person among the people? Moses replied; I am the most learned. Allah then admonished Moses for he did not ascribe all knowledge to Allah only Then came the Divine Inspiration:- Yes; one of Our slaves at the junction of the two seas is more learned than you. Moses said; O my Lord ! How can meet him? Allah said; Take a fish in a basket and wherever the fish is lost; follow it you will find him at that place. So Moses set out along with his attendant Yusha Bin Noon; and they carried with them a fish till they reached a rock and rested there. Moses put his head down and slept. Sufyan; a sub-narrator said that somebody other than Amr said At the rock there was a water spring called AlHayat and none came in touch with its water but became alive. So some of the water of that spring fell over that fish; so it moved and slipped out of the basket and entered the sea. When Moses woke up; he asked his attendant; Bring our early meal 18.62. The narrator added: Moses did not suffer from fatigue except after he had passed the place he had been ordered to observe. His attendant Yusha Bin Noon said to him; Do you remember what happened when we betook ourselves to the rock? I did indeed forget about the fish... 18.63 The narrator added: So they came back; retracing their steps and then they found in the sea; the way of the fish looking like a tunnel. So there was an astonishing event for his attendant; and there was tunnel for the fish. When they reached the rock; they found a man covered with a garment. Moses greeted him. The man said astonishingly; Is there any such greeting in your land? Moses said; I am Moses. The man said; Moses of Bani Israel? Moses said; Yes; and added; may I follow you so that you teach me something of the Knowledge which you have been taught? 18.66. AlKhadir said to him; O Moses! You have something of Allah knowledge which Allah has taught you and which I do not know; and I have something of Allah knowledge which Allah has taught me and which you do not know. Moses said; But I will follow you. AlKhadir said; Then if you follow me; ask me no question about anything until I myself speak to you concerning it. 18.70. After that both of them proceeded along the seashore. There passed by them a boat whose crew recognized AlKhadir and received them on board free of charge. So they both got on board. A sparrow came and sat on the edge of the boat and dipped its beak unto the sea. AlKhadir said to Moses. My knowledge and your knowledge and all the creation knowledge compared to Allah knowledge is not more than the water taken by this sparrow beak. Then Moses was startled by AlKhadir action of taking an adze and scuttling the boat with it. Moses said to him; These people gave us a free lift; but you intentionally scuttled their boat so as to drown them. Surely you have... 18.71 Then they both proceeded and found a boy playing with other boys. AlKhadir took hold of him by the head and cut it off. Moses said to him; Have you killed an innocent soul who has killed nobody? Surely you have done an illegal thing! 18.74 He said; Didnt I tell you that you will not be able to have patient with me up to..but they refused to entertain them as their guests. There they found a wall therein at the point of collapsing. 18.75-77 AlKhadir moved his hand thus and set it upright repaired it. Moses said to him; When we entered this town; they neither gave us hospitality nor fed us; if you had wished; you could have taken wages for it; AlKhadir said; This is the parting between you and me I will tell you the interpretation of those things about which you were unable to hold patience.... 18.78 Allah Messenger ﷺ said; We wished that Moses could have been more patient so that He Allah could have described to us more about their story. Ibn Abbas used to recite:- And in front ahead of them there was a king who used to seize every serviceable boat by force. 18.79...and as for the boy he was a disbeliever. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-7041
