وحدثني محمد بن المثنى، حدثنا ابن أبي عدي، عن داود، عن أبي العالية، عن ابن عباس، قال سرنا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بين مكة والمدينة فمررنا بواد فقال ‏"‏ أى واد هذا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فقالوا وادي الأزرق ‏.‏ فقال ‏"‏ كأني أنظر إلى موسى صلى الله عليه وسلم فذكر من لونه وشعره شيئا لم يحفظه داود واضعا إصبعيه في أذنيه له جؤار إلى الله بالتلبية مارا بهذا الوادي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قال ‏"‏ ثم سرنا حتى أتينا على ثنية فقال ‏"‏ أى ثنية هذه ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قالوا هرشى أو لفت ‏.‏ فقال ‏"‏ كأني أنظر إلى يونس على ناقة حمراء عليه جبة صوف خطام ناقته ليف خلبة مارا بهذا الوادي ملبيا ‏"‏ ‏.‏
 Abu al-'Aliya narrated it on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas that he said:                      We travelled with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) between Mecca and Medina 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.
