ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ حَالَ مُوسَى حِينَ لَقِيَ الْخَضِرَ بَعْدَ فَقْدِ الْحُوتِ

[Machine] From Bahz and Ibn Uyaynah, to the extent that Nawf claimed that Musa was not the companion of al-Khidr. He said: "The enemy of Allah is lying!" Ubbay ibn Ka'b narrated to us from the Prophet ﷺ who said: Musa stood up to give a sermon to the Children of Israel, and he was asked: "Who is the most knowledgeable among the people?" He said: "I am." So Allah admonished him, as knowledge was not returned to Him. He said: "Rather, there is a servant of Mine at the meeting place of the two seas who is more knowledgeable than you." Musa said: "O Lord, how can I meet him?" He said: "Take a fish and put it in a basket, then set out and wherever you lose the fish, then that is where you will find him." So Musa set out with his servant, walking, until they reached the rock. Musa laid down and the fish became turbulent in the basket and came out into the sea, so Allah seized him with a current of water like a taut rope. And the fish was like a flock for him. Sufyan said: "He knotted his thumb and forefinger together and opened a gap between them." He said: "So they set out until the next morning." Musa said to his servant: "{Bring] us our breakfast; indeed, we have suffered in this journey of ours [much] fatigue." (Quran 18:62) He said: "And he did not find the place [in the rock] until he passed by it." (Quran 18:64) So they returned to their footsteps and told the story of their footsteps. He said: "And Musa had a wondrous trace of the fish, and the fish had its flock." So he narrated the Hadith.  

عَنْ بَهْزٍ وَابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ حَتَّى إِنَّ نَوْفًا يَزْعُمُ أَنَّ مُوسَى لَيْسَ بِصَاحِبِ الْخَضِرِ قَالَ فَقَالَ كَذَبَ عَدُوُّ اللهِ حَدَّثَنَا أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ قَامَ مُوسَى خَطِيبًا فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَسُئِلَ أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَعْلَمُ؟ قَالَ أَنَا فَعَتَبَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ إِذْ لَمْ يَرُدَّ الْعِلْمَ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ بَلْ عَبْدٌ لِي عِنْدَ مَجْمَعِ الْبَحْرَيْنِ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ مِنْكَ قَالَ أَيْ رَبِّ فَكَيْفَ لِي بِهِ؟ قَالَ خُذْ حُوتًا فَاجْعَلْهُ فِي مِكْتَلٍ ثُمَّ انْطَلِقْ فَحَيْثُمَا فَقَدْتَهُ فَهُوَ ثَمَّ فَانْطَلَقَ مُوسَى وَمَعَهُ فَتَاهُ يَمْشِيَانِ حَتَّى انْتَهَيَا إِلَى الصَّخْرَةِ فَرَقَدَ مُوسَى وَاضْطَرَبَ الْحُوتُ فِي الْمِكْتَلِ فَخَرَجَ فَوَقَعَ فِي الْبَحْرِ فَأَمْسَكَ اللهُ عَنْهُ جِرْيَةَ الْمَاءِ مِثْلَ الطَّاقِ وَكَانَ لِلْحُوتِ سَرَبًا وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ فَعَقَدَ الْإِبْهَامَ وَالسَّبَّابَةَ وَفَرَّجَ بَيْنَهُمَا قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَا حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ قَالَ مُوسَى لِفَتَاهُ {آتِنَا غَدَاءَنَا لَقَدْ لَقِينَا مِنْ سَفَرِنَا هَذَا نَصَبًا} [الكهف 62] قَالَ وَلَمْ يَجِدِ النَّصَبَ حَتَّى جَاوَزَ حَيْثُ أُمِرَ {قَالَ ذَلِكَ مَا كُنَّا نَبْغِ} [الكهف 64] فَارْتَدَّا عَلَى آثَارِهِمَا قَصَصًا يَقُصَّانِ آثَارَهُمَا قَالَ وَكَانَ لِمُوسَى أَثَرُ الْحُوتِ عَجَبًا وَلِلْحُوتِ سَرَبًا فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ  

[Machine] "I have indeed experienced me and my companion in the company of Musa, who asked the way to meet him. Have you heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , mention his story?" He said, "Yes, I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , say: Among us and Musa, there was a gathering of the Children of Israel, when a man came to him and said, 'Do you know anyone more knowledgeable than you?' He replied, 'No.' So Allah inspired His servant Khidr to ask Musa for the way to meet him. Allah made for him a sign in the form of a fish. It was said to him, 'If you lose the fish, then return, for you will find it.' Ibn Mus'ab said in his narration: So they continued until they reached a place where Musa said to his boy, 'Bring us our lunch, for indeed, we have suffered much fatigue from this journey of ours.' At that moment, they lost the fish. Then they continued, following the traces of the fish in the sea. Musa said, 'They are those whom Allah has mentioned in His Book.'" (Surah Al-Kahf)  

إِنِّي تَمَارَيْتُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبِي هَذَا فِي صَاحِبِ مُوسَى الَّذِي سَأَلَ السَّبِيلَ إِلَى لُقِيِّهِ فَهَلْ سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَذْكُرُ شَأْنَهُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ بَيْنَا مُوسَى فِي مَلَأٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِذْ قَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ هَلْ تَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا أَعْلَمَ مِنْكَ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَأَوْحَى اللهُ إِلَيْهِ عَبْدُنَا خَضِرٌ فَسَأَلَ مُوسَى السَّبِيلَ إِلَى لُقِيِّهِ وَجَعَلَ اللهُ لَهُ الْحُوتَ آيَةً فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِذَا فَقَدْتَ الْحُوتَ فَارْجِعْ فَإِنَّكَ سَتَلْقَاهُ قَالَ ابْنُ مُصْعَبٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ فَنَزَلَ مَنْزِلًا فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِفَتَاهُ {آتِنَا غَدَاءَنَا لَقَدْ لَقِينَا مِنْ سَفَرِنَا هَذَا نَصَبًا} [الكهف 62] فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ فَقَدَالْحُوتَ {فَارْتَدَّا عَلَى آثَارِهِمَا قَصَصًا} [الكهف 64] فَجَعَلَ مُوسَى يَتْبَعُ أَثَرَ الْحُوتِ فِي الْبَحْرِ قَالَ فَكَانَ مِنْ شَأْنِهِمَا مَا قَصَّ اللهُ فِي كِتَابهِ
