وحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : " سِرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ ، فَمَرَرْنَا بِوَادٍ ، فَقَالَ : أَيُّ وَادٍ هَذَا ؟ فَقَالُوا : وَادِي الأَزْرَقِ ، فَقَالَ : كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ ، فَذَكَرَ مِنْ لَوْنِهِ ، وَشَعَرِهِ ، شَيْئًا لَمْ يَحْفَظْهُ دَاوُدُ ، وَاضِعًا إِصْبَعَيْهِ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ ، لَهُ جُؤَارٌ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِالتَّلْبِيَةِ ، مَارًّا بِهَذَا الْوَادِي ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ سِرْنَا ، حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا عَلَى ثَنِيَّةٍ ، فَقَالَ : أَيُّ ثَنِيَّةٍ هَذِهِ ؟ قَالُوا : هَرْشَى أَوْ لِفْتٌ ، فَقَالَ : كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى يُونُسَ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ ، عَلَيْهِ جُبَّةُ صُوفٍ خِطَامُ ، نَاقَتِهِ لِيفٌ خُلْبَةٌ ، مَارًّا بِهَذَا الْوَادِي مُلَبِّيًا " .
Abu al-'Aliya narrated it on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas that he said: We travelled with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) between Makkah and Madinah and we passed by a valley. He (the Holy Prophet) asked: Which valley is this? They said: This is the valley of Azraq Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) remarked: (I feel) as if I am seeing Moses (ؑ) (peace be upon him), and then he described something about his complexion and hair, which Diwud (the narrator) could not remember. He ( Moses (ؑ), as described by the Holy Prophet) was keeping his fingers in his ears and was responding loudly to Allah (saying: I am as Thy service, my Lord) while passing through that valley. We then travelled (further) till we came to the mountain trail. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Which mountain trail is this? They said: It is the Harsha or Lift. He (the Holy Prophet) said: (I perceive) as if I am seeing Yunus on a red camel, with a cloak of wool around him. The halter of his camel was that of the fibre of date-palm, and he was passing through the valley saying: I am at Thy service! my Lord.
