Prophet Mūsā: Part 6 — His Last Days and al-Khaḍir
Section 21 of 21 · Lives of the Prophets
The Talbiyah in Wādī al-Azraq
Another hadith, narrated by Imam Aḥmad: the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), when he went to Hajj, passed through a valley and asked: what is the name of this valley? They said: this is Wādī al-Azraq; the name of this valley is the Azraq Valley. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: it is as if I can see Mūsā coming down from this hill, making Hajj to Allah (swt), and making the talbiyah.
So Mūsā (peace be upon him) made Hajj; he made Hajj to the House of Allah (swt). Yūnus ibn Mattā made Hajj, and in other ahadith we have narrations of other anbiyāʾ making Hajj, like Hūd and Ṣāliḥ. So the anbiyāʾ of Allah (swt) made Hajj to the House of Allah (swt), and Allah was making Muhammad (peace be upon him) see them as if they were in front of his eyes. He saw Mūsā as he was coming down that hill, and he saw Yūnus ibn Mattā coming down that hill wearing woollen clothes, on a red camel. These are some of the faḍāʾil of Mūsā (peace be upon him).
