Hadith 10228
اُردوEn
عَنْ صَبَّاحِ بْنِ أَشْرَسَ قَالَ سُئِلَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا عَنِ الْمَدِّ وَالْجَزْرِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ مَلَكًا مُوَكَّلًا بِقَامُوسِ الْبَحْرِ فَإِذَا وَضَعَ رِجْلَهُ فَاضَتْ وَإِذَا رَفَعَهَا غَاضَتْ
It is narrated from Sabah bin Ashras that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) was asked about the ebb and flow (tides). He said: An angel has been appointed over the middle and vast part of the sea; when he puts his leg into it, the water increases, and when he lifts it, the water decreases.
