One day, the companions of our beloved messenger Muhammad saw were on a journey with only dates and water to have. They began eating leaves of trees until they reached the coast where they saw a large mound. They came near it and saw a huge fish known as Al Anbar. Jabir RAW says ‘three hundred of us ate from it for a month and paced its meat for our journey.

The box floated right into the enemy’s palace which was fir’awn at the time. His wife Asiyah pleased to him to keep him. They tried to feed him but he didn’t accept it. Musa’s sister who had followed him, informed the palace she knew someone who might be able to help and brought the mum, she was then able to take care of her son without them knowing she was the mother
