One day, Musa, a prophet of the Bani Israel, was asked by his people about the most knowledgeable person on earth. He replied that he was the most knowledgeable.

However, Allah admonished him for not attributing knowledge to Allah. Allah informed Musa of a wise man who was more knowledgeable than him.

Curious and humbled, Musa asked Allah how to find this wise man. Allah instructed him to take a whale and place it in a sack.

At the place where the whale would disappear, Musa would find the wise man. So, Musa set out on his journey, accompanied by a young lad named Yusha bin Nun.

They carried the whale in a sack and journeyed until they reached a rock. Overcome by fatigue, both Musa and Yusha fell asleep.

While they were asleep, the whale escaped from the sack and fled to the sea after drinking from a spring known as the Spring of Life.

When Musa and Yusha woke up, they continued their journey, not realizing that the whale had disappeared.

Finally, they reached a place where two seas met. Musa asked Yusha to bring the whale for their meal, but Yusha had forgotten about the whale.

It was then they realized that the whale had disappeared. They hurried back to the place where they had slept and found the whale was gone.

There, they met a man, who introduced himself as the wise man that Allah had mentioned to Musa.

Musa requested the wise man to teach him from the knowledge Allah had granted him. The wise man agreed, but warned Musa that he must be patient.

The wise man performed actions that seemed irrational to Musa, testing his patience. But Musa kept his promise and remained patient.

After a series of tests, the wise man finally explained his actions and the wisdom behind them. Musa was humbled and enlightened by the wise man's wisdom.

Musa thanked the wise man for his teachings, and the wise man blessed Musa and Yusha for their patience and humility.

Musa and Yusha then bid farewell to the wise man and continued their journey, filled with newfound wisdom and humility.

They returned to their people, who were eagerly waiting for their return. Musa shared the wise man's wisdom with his people.

His people were amazed and humbled by the wisdom that Musa had shared with them. They thanked Allah for the wisdom and guidance.

Musa's journey taught them the importance of humility and patience, and the realization that wisdom comes from Allah.

From then on, Musa and his people lived with a deep respect for knowledge and wisdom, always remembering the lessons from their journey.

And so, the tale of Musa and the wise man became a timeless story passed down through generations, teaching lessons of humility, patience, and wisdom.

The story of Musa and the wise man serves as a reminder that true knowledge and wisdom comes only from Allah, and that patience and humility are virtues to be cherished.
