It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Among the companions of Musa (may Allah's mercy and peace be upon him) who crossed the sea (along with the Children of Israel) there were twelve tribes, and on each path (formed miraculously when the sea parted) there were twelve thousand people, all of them from the descendants of Ya'qub (may Allah's mercy and peace be upon him)."
And, if Allah Almighty wills, some further detail related to this event will come shortly under the tafsir of Surah al-Baqarah.
