Musa's young companion on the journey to al-Khidr, who later led Bani Israil into the holy land.

He carried the fish on Musa's journey to meet al-Khidr, and forgot to mention when it slipped into the sea, a sign of the meeting place. The commentators also say he was one of the two God-fearing men who urged the people to enter the holy land. After the forty years of wandering he led them in.
