2684. Narrated Sa‘īd bin Jubair: A Jew from Hīra asked me which one of the two periods Mūsā (i.e., Prophet Moses عليه السلام) completed. I said, “I don’t know, (but wait) till I see the most learned Arab and enquire him about it.” So, I went to Ibn ‘Abbās and asked him. He replied, “Mūsā completed the longer and better period.” Ibn ‘Abbās added, “No doubt, a Messenger of Allāh always does what he says.”
