According to a hadith in ''[[Sahih al-Bukhari]]'' and ''[[Sahih Muslim]]'', [['Abd Allah b. 'Abbas]] had an argument with another person about the identity of Moses's master. So they went to [[Ubayy b. Ka'b]] to settle their dispute. He cited a remark by the [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]]: “Moses was among a group of Israelite people. Someone went to him and asked him if he knew anyone more knowledgeable and wiser than himself. “No!” replied Moses. Then God revealed to him that there was someone wiser than him: His servant, al-Khidr. Moses asked God how to meet him.

According to another hadith, in response to [[Sa'id b. Jubayr]]'s question, Ibn 'Abbas said that Moses (a) in this story is the well-known Israelite Prophet Moses, the son of Imran.
