15649 - Muhammad ibn 'Abd Allah ibn Abi al-Thalj narrated to us, Yazid ibn Harun reported to us, Asbagh ibn Zayd informed us, al-Qasim ibn Abi Ayyub reported to us, from Sa'id ibn Jubayr, from Ibn 'Abbas, who said: When Moses's stay was prolonged due to the false promises of Pharaoh, Moses was commanded to depart with his people, so he departed with them by night.

15650 - Abu Zur'ah narrated to us, 'Amr ibn Hammad reported to us, Asbat reported to us, from al-Suddi: Then Allah commanded Moses to depart with the Children of Israel. He said: "So travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be followed." He says: [Take] the path as it is.
