حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِنَّمَا سُمِّيَ الْخَضِرُ أَنَّهُ جَلَسَ عَلَى فَرْوَةٍ بَيْضَاءَ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَهْتَزُّ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ خَضْرَاءَ ".
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Al-Khadir was named so because he sat over a barren white land, it turned green with plantation after (his sitting over it."
[1] The word ‘ Khidr ’ in Arabic related to the word ‘ Akhdar ’ which means green. (2) They disobeyed Allāh both in action and in word. Thus, Allāh punished them severely by sending on them an epidemic of plague disease. [See Tafsir At-Tabari . (V. 2:59).]Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 3402In-book reference : Book 60, Hadith 75USC-MSA web (English) reference : Vol. 4, Book 55, Hadith 614
