Commentary

Rushed is read with two openings, and with a dammah and sukoon, meaning: knowledge of what is right, by which he was guided in my religion. If you say: Does his need for learning from another in his time not indicate that - as it is said - he is Musa ibn Misha, not Musa ibn Imran, because the prophet must be the most knowledgeable of his people and their imam to whom they refer in matters of religion? I say: There is no shame for the prophet in taking knowledge from a prophet like him; rather, it is shameful for him to take it from someone below him. And from Sa'id ibn Jubair, he said to Ibn Abbas: Indeed, Nuf is the son of the woman of Kab, who claims that al-Khidr is not the companion of Musa, and that Musa is Musa ibn Misha. He said: The enemy of Allah is lying. [[This was narrated by Ibn Ishaq in Al-Maghazi from Al-Hasan ibn Amarah from Al-Hakim from Sa'id ibn Jubair in this way. And the entire story is mentioned in the two Sahihs with different wording from the narration of Amr ibn Dinar from Sa'id.]]
