The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the old man in Madyan who took Musa (peace be upon him) and his daughter Shaykh 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (peace be upon him)?
The Shaykh:
It has been said that this is the case, but the Shaykh al-Islam denies this. He says it is not Shaykh 'Umar ibn al-Khattab. He says it is not Shaykh 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, because Shaykh 'Umar ibn al-Khattab was an Arab and his language was Arabic, whereas this old man of Madyan did not speak Arabic. Yes.
The presenter:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
That is to say, Musa (peace be upon him) spoke Hebrew, not Arabic. Musa spoke in the Hebrew language, so the old man’s language must have been the same for their communication.
