Which valley is this? They said: This is the valley of Azraq, and he observed: (I perceive) as if I am seeing Moses (peace be upon him) coming down from the mountain track, and he is calling upon Allah loudly (saying: Here I am! at your service! ). Then he came to the mountain track of Harsha. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Which is this mountain track? They said: It is the mountain track of Harsha. He observed (I feel) as If I am seeing Yunus (Jonah-peace be upon him) son of Matta on a well- built red dromedary, with a cloak of wool around him and the rein of his dromedary is made of the fibres of date-palm, and he is calling upon Allah (saying: Here I am! at your service, my Lord! ). Ibn Hanbal said in the hadith narrated by him: Hushaim said that the meaning of khulba was fibre of date-palm.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَرَّ بِوَادِي الأَزْرَقِ فَقَالَ أَىُّ وَادٍ هَذَا فَقَالُوا هَذَا وَادِي الأَزْرَقِ قَالَ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ هَابِطًا مِنَ الثَّنِيَّةِ وَلَهُ جُؤَارٌ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِالتَّلْبِيَةِ ثُمَّ أَتَى عَلَى ثَنِيَّةِ هَرْشَى فَقَالَ أَىُّ ثَنِيَّةٍ هَذِهِ قَالُوا ثَنِيَّةُ هَرْشَى قَالَ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى يُونُسَ بْنِ مَتَّى عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ جَعْدَةٍ عَلَيْهِ جُبَّةٌ مِنْ صُوفٍ خِطَامُ نَاقَتِهِ خُلْبَةٌ وَهُوَ يُلَبِّي قَالَ ابْنُ حَنْبَلٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ هُشَيْمٌ يَعْنِي لِيفًا  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by the Valley of Azraq and said, "Which valley is this?" They said, "This is the Valley of Azraq." He said, "It is as if I am looking at Musa (Moses) ﷺ descending from Thaniyyah and he has a neck with which he answers the call to Allah ﷻ until he came upon the valley of Harshyah and said, "Which valley is this?" They said, "This is the valley of Harshyah." He said, "It is as if I am looking at Yunus (Jonah) bin Matta riding a red, curly-haired camel with a cloak of wool. The reins of his camel are made of hide." He said, "Hushaym," meaning a type of coarse wool, and he was making the talbiyah.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَرَّ بِوَادِي الْأَزْرَقِ فَقَالَ أَيُّ وَادٍ هَذَا؟ قَالُوا هَذَا وَادِي الْأَزْرَقِ فَقَالَ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ وَهُوَ هَابِطٌ مِنَ الثَّنِيَّةِ وَلَهُ جُؤَارٌ إِلَى اللهِ ﷻ بِالتَّلْبِيَةِ حَتَّى أَتَى عَلَى ثَنِيَّةِ هَرْشَى فَقَالَ أَيُّ ثَنِيَّةٍ هَذِهِ؟ قَالُوا ثَنِيَّةُ هَرْشَى قَالَ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى يُونُسَ بْنِ مَتَّى عَلَى نَاقَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ جَعْدَةٍ عَلَيْهِ جُبَّةٌ مِنْ صُوفٍ خِطَامُ نَاقَتِهِ خُلْبَةٌ قَالَ هُشَيْمٌ يَعْنِي لِيفًا وَهُوَ يُلَبِّي  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by Wadi al-Azraq and said, 'It is as if I am seeing Musa descending and has a close connection with his Lord through supplication.' Then, he passed by a valley and asked, 'What is this?' It was said to him, 'This is Thaniyah.' He said, 'It is as if I am seeing Musa striking the fire on a red camel whose reins are made of leather and it is wearing a cloak made of wool.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَتَى عَلَى وَادِي الْأَزْرَقِ فَقَالَ «كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى مُوسَى مُنْهَبِطًا وَلَهُ جُؤَارٌ إِلَى رَبِّهِ بِالتَّلْبِيَةِ» وَمَرَّ عَلَى ثَنِيَّةٍ فَقَالَ «مَا هَذِهِ؟ » قِيلَ ثَنِيَّةُ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ «كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى مُوسَى يَرْمِي الْجَمْرَةَ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ خِطَامُهَا مِنْ لِيفٍ وَعَلَيْهِ جُبَّةٌ مِنْ صُوفٍ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to the valley of Ibn Al-Azraq and asked, "What is this valley?" They said, "It is the valley of Ibn Al-Azraq." He said, "It is as if I can see Musa, ﷺ , descending and having a conversation with his Lord with the sound of a trumpet." Then he came to a mound and asked, "What is this mound?" They said, "It is a mound called so and so." He said, "It is as if I can see Yunus ibn Matta riding on a red, curly-haired camel, with a reins made of fiber, and he is wearing a cloak made of wool, while he is performing the Talbiyah." Abu Al-Qasim said, "Hammad ibn Salamah ibn Al-Azraq said, 'And indeed, he is Al-Azraq.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَتَى عَلَى وَادِي ابْنِ الْأَزْرَقِ فَقَالَ «مَا هَذَا الْوَادِي؟» قَالُوا وَادِي ابْنِ الْأَزْرَقِ قَالَ «كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى مُوسَى ﷺ مُنْهَبِطًا وَلَهُ حُوَارٌ إِلَى رَبِّهِ بِالتَّلْبِيَةِ» ثُمَّ أَتَى عَلَى ثَنِيَّةٍ فَقَالَ «مَا هَذِهِ الثَّنِيَّةُ؟» قِيلَ ثَنِيَّةُ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ «كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى يُونُسَ بْنِ مَتَّى عَلَى نَاقَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ جَعْدَةٍ خِطَامُهَا لِيفٌ عَلَيْهِ جُبَّةٌ مِنْ صُوفٍ وَهُوَ يُلَبِّي» قَالَ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَزْرَقِ وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ الْأَزْرَقُ
