Hadith 3901
- " لما لقي موسى الخضر عليهما السلام جاء طير، فألقى منقاره في الماء، فقال الخضر لموسى: تدري ما يقول هذا الطير؟ قال: وما يقول؟ قال: يقول: ما علمك وعلم موسى في علم الله إلا كما أخذ منقاري من الماء ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When Musa (peace be upon him) met Khidr (peace be upon him), a bird came and filled its beak with water from the sea. Khidr (peace be upon him) said to Musa (peace be upon him): Do you know what this bird wants to say? He said: What does it want to say? Khidr (peace be upon him) said: It is saying to me that your knowledge and mine, compared to the knowledge of Allah Almighty, is only as much as the water in my beak compared to the sea."
