The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed through the valley of al-Azraq. The narration includes that he then came upon the mountain pass of Harsha and asked, "Which pass is this?"They replied, "It is the pass of Harsha."He said, "It is as though I am looking at Yunus bin Matta on a red, sturdy she-camel, wearing a woolen cloak, the rein of his camel made of palm fiber, while he is calling out the talbiyah."Hushaym explained that this meant fiber.In another wording, "Harsha or Lift, the rein of his camel made of palm fiber, passing through this valley calling out the talbiyah."
أن رسول الله ﷺ مر بوادي الأزرق… وفيه: ثم أتى على ثنية هرشى فقال: أي ثنية هذه؟ قالوا: ثنية هرشي قال: كأني أنظر إلى يونس بن متى عليه السلام على ناقة حمراء جعدة عليه جبة من صوف خطام ناقته خلبة وهو يلبي. قال هشيم: يعني: ليفا. وفي لفظ: هرشى أو لفت خطام ناقته ليف خلبة، مارا بهذا الوادي ملبيا
Muslim narrated it in the Book of Faith (166: 268, 269) through several chains from Dawud bin Abu Hind, from Abu Aliyah, from Ibn Abbas, as mentioned.His saying, "Harsha," is a mountain near Juhfah. His saying, "Jadah," means firm and compact in flesh. His saying, "Khilbah," with the kha vowelled with a damma and the lam silent, refers to palm fiber. His saying, "Harsha or Laft," Laft, with the lam vowelled with a kasra, or a fatha, and the fa vowelled with a fatha, is a mountain pass between Makkah and Madinah.
