The student : His saying in another surah: [Taha 20:10].....
The Shaykh : ... If we say that the report is broader than that, it does not mean that it negates this thing; rather, it indicates that he needed evidence. And we said: The apparent meaning is that the sky was cloudy; otherwise, he would have known the stars, because he was a shepherd and had remained [in that state] for eight years and knew most of the stars. But it is not far-fetched that the sky was cloudy.
perhaps I can bring you a torch or find at the fire some guidance."
