One of two God-fearing men who told Bani Israil to enter the holy land and trust Allah.

Musa told his people to enter the land Allah had written for them. They refused, fearing a mighty people there. Two men who feared Allah said: enter on them through the gate, and when you enter you will prevail; rely on Allah if you are believers. The people still refused, and wandered forty years.
