Hadith 9

said: ‘Enter it! ’ They said: ‘The ground is soggy. We fear that we might get bogged down in it’. Allah–azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: ‘O Musa–as! O Allah–azwj! By the virtue of Muhammad–saww and his–saww goodly Progeny–asws, Dry it! ’ He–as said it, and Allah–azwj Sent the Al-Saba wind over it, and it dried out’. And Musa–as said: ‘Enter it! ’
They said: ‘O Prophet–as of Allah–azwj! We are twelve tribes or twelve fathers, and if we enter, every group of us would want to precede the other, and we are not safe from the occurrence of evil between us. If only there was a path for every group of us to tread upon, we would be safe from what we fear’. Allah–azwj Commanded Musa–as that he–as strike the sea with their number, twelve strikes in twelve (different) places, to the side of that place, and he–as should be saying: ‘O Allah–azwj! By the virtue of Muhammad–saww and his–saww goodly Progeny–asws! Expose the ground for us and pattern the water from us’. So there came to be in it, twelve complete paths, and the surface of the ground was dried out by the Al-Saba wind, and he–as said: ‘Enter it! ’. They said, ‘Every group of us would enter a path from these paths not knowing what is happening upon the others’. Allah–azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “Strike each mountain of water, a path between this’. He–as struck and said, ‘O Allah–azwj! By the virtue of Muhammad–saww and his–saww goodly Progeny–asws! Make a vast opening to be in this water, so some of them can see the others from it’. So openings occurred, vast enough from some of them to see the others from it. Then they entered it. When they reached the end of it, Pharaoh–la came over with his–as people. Some of them entered. When the last of them had entered, and they were the first ones with the exiting, Allah–azwj the Exalted Commanded the sea, and it formed Layers upon them, and they drowned while the companions of Musa–as were looking at them. That is the Word of Allah–azwj Mighty and Majestic and We Drowned the People of Pharaoh and you were looking on – at them. Allah–azwj Mighty and Majestic Said to the Children of Israel regarding the era of Musa–as: “So when Allah–azwj Exalted Did all of this with your ancestors for the prestige of Muhammad–saww, and the supplication of Musa–as – and he–as supplicated to be closer to Allah–azwj through them–asws – are you not using your intellect that upon you is to believe in Muhammad–saww and his–saww Progeny–asws now, when you have witnessed it? ”’[10]
