Some of these hadiths concern the details of the meeting between Moses a and al-Khidr a , and some others concern the identification of al-Khidr a and his being or not being a prophet.
There are also hadiths according to which al-Khidr a went to Ahl al-Bayt a , offering his condolences for the demise of the Holy Prophet s. And there are hadiths according to which he accompanied Dhu l-Qarnayn in the search for the spring of life, and there are hadiths concerning his longevity. There is a controversy among exegetes of the Holy Qur'an with respect to the prophethood of al-Khidr a. Fakhr al-Din al-Razi [23] rejected six arguments presented by exegetes of the Holy Qur'an for the prophethood of al-Khidr.
But he himself made no comments on this issue. According to al-Tha'labi , al-Khidr a is a prophet with a long life who is hidden from people. And according to Baghawi, God gave knowledge of the interior to al-Khidr through inspiration, and most scholars believe that he is not a prophet. Ibn 'Asakir d. He cited many stories about al-Khidr a many of which look like unacceptable myths and strange fantasies. Ibn Hajar al-'Asqalani d.
He discussed the question whether al-Khidr a counted as one of the Sahaba on the assumption that he lived until the time of the Prophet Muhammad s.
He said that none of the early biographers considered al-Khidr to be one of the Sahaba. Ibn Hajar rejected stories about Khidr's life. Abu l-Faraj b. Jawzi d. The book is not available today, but Ibn Kathir [30] and Haji Khalifa [31] had seen the book, and Ibn Jawzi provided a summary of it. Al-Khidr a has a special place in Sufi writings. His extraordinary actions during his travel with Moses a are very significant and influential in the development of the Islamic mystical literature.
The mystical story of Moses a and al-Khidr a is the origin of stories that were written later with respect to mystical journeys together with a spiritual mentor. Different parts of the story contain resources for Sufi readings and literary metaphors.
Ibn 'Arabi [36] discovered a relationship between the three exotic actions done by al-Khidr a during the journey and the events in Moses's own life: scuttling the ship is relevant to Moses being rescued from the Nile river when he was a baby; killing a teenage boy with Moses killing a Copt; and not asking for a wage for reconstructing the wall with Moses drawing water from the well for Shu'ayb's a daughters in Midian.
Early Sufis usually believe in al-Khidr a as a specific person who is still alive, and some of them claimed that they have met him or learned from him. A controversial issue among Sufis is the prophethood of al-Khidr a and his comparison with Moses a with respect to knowledge and ranking. They mostly take Khidr's knowledge to be from God, taking prophecy to be exterior knowledge. According to Ibn 'Arabi, [37] people are ranked differently with respect to their proximity to God.
People in each rank have perceptions of their own, of which people of other ranks are unaware, as al-Khidr a told Moses a : God has given me knowledge of things that you are unaware of, and has given you knowledge of things that I am unaware of.
Abu Nasr al-Sarraj [39] decisively rejected the view that the story of Moses a and al-Khidr a implies the inferiority of Moses a and the superiority of al-Khidr a.
He explicitly said that prophets are superior to saints of God. The spring of this water is the spring of wilaya and the source of divine succession. Whoever drinks it will live forever and will have an eternal life in the heaven. There are different locations in Islamic lands which are attributed to al-Khidr a. There is also a stance of al-Khidr in the southern side of the al-Sahla Mosque. According to a hadith, this stance was the place where Moses a and al-Khidr a met.
In Qom there is a mountain attributed to al-Khidr a. Jump to: navigation , search. Main article: Story of al-Khidr and Moses. Story of al-Khidr and Moses Moses a. Beirut: AH. Edited by Reynold A. Leiden: Tehran: Sh. Ananda K. This is the case even though some scholars said that he was not a prophet.
Therefore the correct opinion is that he is a human and not an angel and his location as well as the location of Elijah is in the land of the Arabs. This should not, however, open the door of those pretenders who claim things that are not true regarding al-Khidr.
There is also dispute on his prophethood and the sounder opinion, as stated by Imam al-Ramli, is that he is a prophet. God is most high and all knowledgeable. Fatwa Request About us Contact Us. Fatwa Request.
