Sahih Muslim 166b
وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ سِرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ فَمَرَرْنَا بِوَادٍ فَقَالَ " أَىُّ وَادٍ هَذَا " . فَقَالُوا وَادِي الأَزْرَقِ . فَقَالَ " كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى مُوسَى صلى الله عليه وسلم فَذَكَرَ مِنْ لَوْنِهِ وَشَعْرِهِ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَحْفَظْهُ دَاوُدُ وَاضِعًا إِصْبَعَيْهِ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ لَهُ جُؤَارٌ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِالتَّلْبِيَةِ مَارًّا بِهَذَا الْوَادِي " . قَالَ " ثُمَّ سِرْنَا حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا عَلَى ثَنِيَّةٍ فَقَالَ " أَىُّ ثَنِيَّةٍ هَذِهِ " . قَالُوا هَرْشَى أَوْ لِفْتٌ . فَقَالَ " كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى يُونُسَ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ عَلَيْهِ جُبَّةُ صُوفٍ خِطَامُ نَاقَتِهِ لِيفٌ خُلْبَةٌ مَارًّا بِهَذَا الْوَادِي مُلَبِّيًا " .
Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna narrated this to me: Ibn Abi 'Adi narrated to us, from Dawud, from Abu al-'Aliya, from Ibn 'Abbas, who said: We were traveling with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) between Mecca and Medina. We passed a valley, and he asked: What valley is this? They said: The Valley of al-Azraq. He said: It is as if I can see Moses, peace be upon him—Dawud did not retain the details he mentioned about his complexion and hair—placing his fingers in his ears and calling out the talbiya to Allah as he passed through this valley. Then we traveled until we came to a mountain pass. He asked: What pass is this? They said: Harsha, or Lift. He said: It is as if I can see Yunus on a red she-camel, wearing a woolen cloak, with a fiber rein, passing through this valley and reciting the talbiya.
Translation notes
The source preserves uncertainty over the pass name as Harsha or Lift, and says Dawud did not retain some descriptive details.
