How sound is the hadith narrated on the authority of Abu Hurayrah, which mentions the details of Allah's revelation to Moses (peace be upon him) on Mount Tur, and in it: "When Allah revealed to Moses son of Imran: 'Indeed, I will speak to you on Mount Tur Sinai,' it became from the place of Moses to Mount Tur Sinai four parasangs by four parasangs, thunder and lightning and bolts, and it was a cold night. So Moses came until he stood before the rock of Mount Tur Sinai, and behold, there was a green tree, water dripping from it and fire almost licking from its core. So Moses stood astonished, and a voice called from the core of the tree: 'O Misha.' So Moses stood listening to the sound... Then Moses said: 'Who is this Hebrew voice speaking to me?' Then Allah said to him: 'O Moses, I am not Hebrew, I am Allah, Lord of the Worlds'"?
Al-Suyuti mentioned this narration in "Ad-Durr Al-Manthur," and Ibn Mardawayh's Tafsir is not available to us so that we may examine the chain of transmission and ascertain its authenticity or weakness. Furthermore, it does not contain a legal ruling; rather, it is merely a story from which one can draw comfort and learn lessons.
