The people said, "We do not know."

The man said, "By Allah, I know."

A'ishah said, "I said to myself about his swearing, that he should not swear such an oath, singling himself out as knowing what person was of most benefit to his brother."

The man said, "It is Musa, when he asked for Prophethood to be bestowed upon his brother."

Then A'ishah said, "By Allah, he has spoken truthfully."
