\n Then he returned galloping...

\n Then he returned galloping, then said to the Children of Israel, \u2018O Children of Israel! Obey Musa – as , for this supplication is nothing except keys to the doors of the Gardens, and locks upon the doors of the Fires, and descended of the sustenance, and a fetcher upon the servants of Allah – azwj and His – azwj maids of the Mercy of the Beneficent, the Compeller, the Creator\u2019. But they refused, and said, \u2018We will not travel except upon the ground\u2019.

\n Allah – azwj Revealed unto Musa – as Strike the sea with your staff [26:63] and say: \u2018O Allah – azwj ! By the virtue of Muhammad – saww and his – saww goodly Progeny – asws , part it!\u2019 So, he – as did, and it parted, and the ground appeared up to the end of the gulf. Musa – as said: \u2018Enter it!\u2019 They said: \u2018The ground is soggy. We fear that we might get bogged down in it\u2019. \n Allah – azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: \u2018O Musa – as ! O Allah – azwj !

By the virtue of Muhammad – saww and his – saww goodly Progeny – asws , Dry it!\u2019 He – as said it, and Allah – azwj Sent the Al-Saba wind over it, and it dried out\u2019. And Musa – as said: \u2018Enter it!\u2019 \n They said: \u2018O 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\u2019. \n 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: \u2018O 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\u2019.

\n 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: \u2018Enter it!\u2019. They said, \u2018Every group of us would enter a path from these paths not knowing what is happening upon the others\u2019. \n Allah – azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: \u201cStrike each mountain of water, a path between this\u2019. He – as struck and said, \u2018O 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\u2019.
