حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَهُ، فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ: إِنَّ نَوْفًا الشَّامِيَّ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّ الَّذِي ذَهَبَ يَطْلُبُ الْعِلْمَ لَيْسَ مُوسَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَكَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ مُتَّكِئًا، فَاسْتَوَى جَالِسًا، فَقَالَ: كَذَلِكَ يَا سَعِيدُ؟ قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، أَنَا سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ ذَاكَ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: كَذَبَ نَوْفٌ، حَدَّثَنِي أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ: أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: "رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى صَالِحٍ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى أَخِي عَادٍ "، ثُمَّ قَالَ: "إِنَّ مُوسَى بَيْنَا هُوَ يَخْطُبُ قَوْمَهُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ، إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ: مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ أَحَدٌ أَعْلَمُ مِنِّي، وَأَوْحَى اللهُ إِلَيْهِ: إِنَّ فِي الْأَرْضِ مَنْ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ مِنْكَ، وَآيَةُ ذَلِكَ أَنْ تُزَوَّدَ حُوتًا مَالِحًا، فَإِذَا فَقَدْتَهُ، فَهُوَ حَيْثُ تَفْقِدُهُ، فَتَزَوَّدَ حُوتًا مَالِحًا، فَانْطَلَقَ هُوَ وَفَتَاهُ، حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ الْمَكَانَ الَّذِي أُمِرُوا بِهِ، فَلَمَّا انْتَهَوْا إِلَى الصَّخْرَةِ، انْطَلَقَ مُوسَى يَطْلُبُ، وَوَضَعَ فَتَاهُ الْحُوتَ عَلَى الصَّخْرَةِ، وَاضْطَرَبَ، {فَاتَّخَذَ سَبِيلَهُ فِي الْبَحْرِ سَرَبًا} [الكهف: ٦١] ، قَالَ فَتَاهُ: إِذَا جَاءَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ حَدَّثْتُهُ، {فَأَنْسَاهُ الشَّيْطَانُ} [يوسف: ٤٢] ، فَانْطَلَقَا، فَأَصَابَهُمْ مَا يُصِيبُ الْمُسَافِرَ مِنَ النَّصَبِ، وَالْكَلَالِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يُصِيبُهُ مَا يُصِيبُ الْمُسَافِرَ مِنَ النَّصَبِ، وَالْكَلَالِ حَتَّى جَاوَزَ مَا أُمِرَ بِهِ، فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِفَتَاهُ: {آتِنَا غَدَاءَنَا لَقَدْ لَقِينَا مِنْ سَفَرِنَا هَذَا نَصَبًا} [الكهف: ٦٢] قَالَ لَهُ فَتَاهُ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، {أَرَأَيْتَ إِذْ أَوَيْنَا إِلَى الصَّخْرَةِ فَإِنِّي نَسِيتُ} [الكهف: ٦٣] أَنْ أُحَدِّثَكَ {وَمَا أَنْسَانِيهُ إِلَّا الشَّيْطَانُ}، [الكهف: ٦٣] {فَاتَّخَذَ سَبِيلَهُ فِي الْبَحْرِ سَرَبًا} [الكهف: ٦١] ، قَالَ: {ذَلِكَ مَا كُنَّا نَبْغِ} [الكهف: ٦٤] فَرَجَعَا عَلَى آثَارِهِمَا قَصَصًا، يَقُصَّانِ الْأَثَرَ حَتَّى إِذَا انْتَهَيَا إِلَى الصَّخْرَةِ، فَأَطَافَ بِهَا، فَإِذَا هُوَ مُسَجًّى بِثَوْبٍ لَهُ، فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ: مُوسَى، قَالَ: مَنْ مُوسَى؟ قَالَ: مُوسَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، قَالَ: أُخْبِرْتُ أَنَّ عِنْدَكَ عِلْمًا، فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَصْحَبَكَ، {قَالَ إِنَّكَ لَنْ تَسْتَطِيعَ مَعِيَ صَبْرًا} [الكهف: ٦٧] {قَالَ سَتَجِدُنِي إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ صَابِرًا وَلَا أَعْصِي لَكَ أَمْرًا} [الكهف: ٦٩] ، قَالَ فَكَيْفَ تَصْبِرُ عَلَى مَا لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهِ خُبْرًا قَالَ: قَدْ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَفْعَلَهُ، قَالَ: {سَتَجِدُنِي إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ صَابِرًا} [الكهف: ٦٩] {قَالَ فَإِنْ اتَّبَعْتَنِي، فَلَا تَسْأَلْنِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى أُحْدِثَ لَكَ مِنْهُ ذِكْرًا فَانْطَلَقَا حَتَّى إِذَا رَكِبَا فِي السَّفِينَةِ} [الكهف: ٧١] ، خَرَجَ مَنْ كَانَ فِيهَا، وَتَخَلَّفَ لِيَخْرِقَهَا، قَالَ: فَقَالَ لَهُ مُوسَى: تَخْرِقُهَا لِتُغْرِقَ أَهْلَهَا، {لَقَدْ جِئْتَ شَيْئًا إِمْرًا} [الكهف: ٧١] {قَالَ أَلَمْ أَقُلْ إِنَّكَ لَنْ تَسْتَطِيعَ مَعِيَ صَبْرًا قَالَ: لَا تُؤَاخِذْنِي بِمَا نَسِيتُ، وَلَا تُرْهِقْنِي مِنْ أَمْرِي عُسْرًا} [الكهف: ٧٢] فَانْطَلَقَا حَتَّى إِذَا أَتَوْا عَلَى غِلْمَانٍ يَلْعَبُونَ عَلَى سَاحِلِ الْبَحْرِ، وَفِيهِمْ غُلَامٌ لَيْسَ فِي الْغِلْمَانِ غُلَامٌ أَنْظَفَ، يَعْنِي مِنْهُ، فَأَخَذَهُ فَقَتَلَهُ، فَنَفَرَ مُوسَى عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ، وَقَالَ: {أَقَتَلْتَ نَفْسًا زَكِيَّةً بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ؟ لَقَدْ جِئْتَ شَيْئًا نُكْرًا، قَالَ: أَلَمْ أَقُلْ لَكَ إِنَّكَ لَنْ تَسْتَطِيعَ مَعِيَ صَبْرًا} ؟ قَالَ: فَأَخَذَتْهُ ذَمَامَةٌ مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ، وَاسْتَحَيا، فَقَالَ: {إِنْ سَأَلْتُكَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ بَعْدَهَا، فَلَا تُصَاحِبْنِي، قَدْ بَلَغْتَ مِنْ لَدُنِّي، عُذْرًا فَانْطَلَقَا حَتَّى إِذَا أَتَيَا أَهْلَ قَرْيَةٍ} [الكهف: ٧٦] لِئَامًا، {اسْتَطْعَمَا أَهْلَهَا} [الكهف: ٧٧] ، وَقَدْ أَصَابَ مُوسَى جَهْدٌ فَلَمْ يُضَيِّفُوهُمَا، {فَوَجَدَا فِيهَا جِدَارًا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَنْقَضَّ، فَأَقَامَهُ} [الكهف: ٧٧] ، قَالَ لَهُ مُوسَى: مِمَّا نَزَلَ بِهِمْ مِنَ الْجَهْدِ: {لَوْ شِئْتَ لَاتَّخَذْتَ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا قَالَ هَذَا فِرَاقُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنِكَ} [الكهف: ٧٧] فَأَخَذَ مُوسَى بِطَرَفِ ثَوْبِهِ، فَقَالَ: حَدِّثْنِي، فَقَالَ: {أَمَّا السَّفِينَةُ، فَكَانَتْ لِمَسَاكِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ فِي الْبَحْرِ} [الكهف: ٧٩] ، {وَكَانَ وَرَاءَهُمْ مَلِكٌ يَأْخُذُ كُلَّ سَفِينَةٍ غَصْبًا} [الكهف: ٧٩] ، فَإِذَا مَرَّ عَلَيْهَا، فَرَآهَا مُنْخَرِقَةً، تَرَكَهَا، وَرَقَّعَهَا أَهْلُهَا بِقِطْعَةِ خَشَبَةٍ، فَانْتَفَعُوا بِهَا، وَأَمَّا الْغُلَامُ، فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ طُبِعَ يَوْمَ طُبِعَ كَافِرًا، وَكَانَ قَدْ أُلْقِيَ عَلَيْهِ مَحَبَّةٌ مِنْ أَبَوَيْهِ، وَلَوْ أَطَاعَاهُ، لَأَرْهَقَهُمَا {طُغْيَانًا وَكُفْرًا} [المائدة: ٦٤] {فَأَرَدْنَا أَنْ يُبْدِلَهُمَا رَبُّهُمَا خَيْرًا مِنْهُ زَكَاةً وَأَقْرَبَ رُحْمًا} [الكهف: ٨١] ، وَوَقَعَ أَبُوهُ عَلَى أُمِّهِ، فَعَلِقَتْ، فَوَلَدَتْ مِنْهُ خَيْرًا مِنْهُ زَكَاةً وَأَقْرَبَ رُحْمًا، {وَأَمَّا الْجِدَارُ فَكَانَ لِغُلَامَيْنِ يَتِيمَيْنِ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ وَكَانَ تَحْتَهُ كَنْزٌ لَهُمَا وَكَانَ أَبُوهُمَا صَالِحًا فَأَرَادَ رَبُّكَ أَنْ يَبْلُغَا أَشُدَّهُمَا وَيَسْتَخْرِجَا كَنْزَهُمَا رَحْمَةً مِنْ رَبِّكَ وَمَا فَعَلْتُهُ عَنْ أَمْرِي ذَلِكَ تَأْوِيلُ مَا لَمْ تَسْطِعْ عَلَيْهِ صَبْرًا} (١) [الكهف: ٨٢] "، ، •

Saeed bin Jubair says that I said to Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that Nauf Bikali thinks that the Musa (of Khidr, peace be upon him) is not the Musa of Bani Israel, but rather some other Musa. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) said, "The enemy of Allah lies! Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated this hadith to me, that the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: Once Musa (peace be upon him) was standing and giving a sermon before Bani Israel. After the sermon ended, a man asked, 'Who is the most knowledgeable person?' Musa (peace be upon him) replied, 'I am the most knowledgeable.' Allah Almighty revealed to Musa (peace be upon him) that among My servants, there is a servant who is more knowledgeable than you. Musa (peace be upon him) said, 'O Lord, how can I meet him?' It was commanded, 'Take a (roasted) fish with you in a basket (and set out on your journey). Where that fish is lost, you will find that person.' Musa (peace be upon him) took a fish, put it in the basket, and set out, taking with him a servant, Yusha bin Nun. As they walked, when they reached a rock, both (stopped and) Musa (peace be upon him) lay his head on the rock and slept. Meanwhile, the fish fluttered out of the basket and made its way into the river, making a tunnel as it went. Musa (peace be upon him) woke up, and Musa said to his servant, 'We have become very tired from this journey, now bring the food.' And Musa had not felt any fatigue until they had passed the appointed place; rather, he began to feel tired only after passing the appointed place. The servant said, 'What can I say? When we reached that rock, I forgot the fish there (and I did not mention it to you).' Musa (peace be upon him) said, 'That is the place we were seeking.' So, retracing their steps, they returned, step by step. As soon as they reached the rock, they saw a man with his head wrapped in a cloth. Musa (peace be upon him) greeted him with salam. Khidr said, 'Where is salam customary in your land? (How did you greet me with salam?)' Musa (peace be upon him) said, 'I am Musa.' Khidr said, 'The Musa of Bani Israel?' I said, 'Yes.' After that, Musa (peace be upon him) said, 'May I accompany you on the condition that you teach me some of the knowledge which Allah has granted you?' Khidr (peace be upon him) said, 'You will not be able to remain patient with me (you will interrupt in between), because Allah Almighty has given me a special portion which He has not given you, and He has given you knowledge of which I am unaware.' (Musa (peace be upon him) said, 'If Allah wills, you will find me steadfast, I will not disobey your command.') Eventually, both set out walking along the riverbank, and there was no boat. Meanwhile, a boat passed by; they spoke to the boatmen about boarding. The people recognized Khidr (peace be upon him), so the boatmen let both of them board without fare. After that, Khidr (peace be upon him) inspected the boat, took out an adze, and removed a plank from the boat. Musa (peace be upon him) said, 'What have you done? These people let us board without fare, and you have damaged their boat and wanted to drown everyone! You have done a strange thing.' Khidr (peace be upon him) said, 'Did I not tell you that you would not be able to remain patient with me?' Musa (peace be upon him) said, 'Do not call me to account for my forgetfulness, and do not make my task difficult for me.' Meanwhile, a bird came and dipped its beak into the sea. Khidr (peace be upon him) said, 'My knowledge and your knowledge cannot diminish Allah's knowledge even as much as this bird has diminished the water of the sea.' Then both of them disembarked from the boat and set out. On the seashore, a boy was playing with other children. Khidr (peace be upon him) caught him by the head and broke his neck with his hand. Musa (peace be upon him) said, 'You have killed an innocent soul without reason; you have done a terrible thing.' Khidr (peace be upon him) said, 'Did I not tell you that you would not be able to remain patient with me?' Musa said, 'Alright, after this, if I ask you anything, then do not keep me with you; you have already excused me much.' Eventually, both set out again. As they walked, they reached a village and asked the villagers for food, but they refused to host them. There they saw a wall that was about to collapse; Khidr (peace be upon him) gestured with his hand and set it straight.
