Hadith 2684
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ شُجَاعٍ ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ الْأَفْطَسِ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، قَالَ : " سَأَلَنِي يَهُودِيٌّ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْحِيرَةِ ، أَيَّ الْأَجَلَيْنِ قَضَى مُوسَى ؟ قُلْتُ : لَا أَدْرِي حَتَّى أَقْدَمَ عَلَى حَبْرِ الْعَرَبِ ، فَأَسْأَلَهُ ، فَقَدِمْتُ ، فَسَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ، فَقَالَ :قَضَى أَكْثَرَهُمَا ، وَأَطْيَبَهُمَا إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا قَالَ فَعَلَ " .
Narrated Sa`id bin Jubair: A Jew from Hira asked me which one of the two periods Musa (i.e. Prophet Moses) completed. I said, "I don't know, (but wait) till I see the most learned 'Arab and inquire him about it." So, I went to Ibn `Abbas and asked him. He replied, "Moses completed the longer and better period." Ibn `Abbas added, "No doubt, an apostle of Allah always does what he says."
