حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضى الله عنه عَنِ

النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّمَا سُمِّيَ الْخَضِرُ أَنَّهُ جَلَسَ عَلَى فَرْوَةٍ بَيْضَاءَ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَهْتَزُّ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ خَضْرَاءَ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Al-Khadir was named so because he sat over a barren white land, it turned green with plantation after (his sitting over it).”

আবূ হুরাইরাহ্ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেন, খাযির (আঃ)-কে খাযির নামে আখ্যায়িত করার কারণ এই যে, একদা তিনি ঘাস-পাতা বিহীন শুকনো সাদা জায়গায় বসেছিলেন। সেখান হতে তাঁর উঠে যাবার পরই হঠাৎ ঐ জায়গাটি সবুজ হয়ে গেল।

ہم سے محمد بن سعید اصبہانی نے بیان کیا ‘ کہا ہم کو عبداللہ بن مبارک نے خبر دی ‘ انہیں معمر نے ‘ انہیں ہمام بن منبہ نے اور انہیں ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا ”خضر علیہ السلام کا یہ نام اس وجہ سے ہوا کہ وہ ایک سوکھی زمین ( جہاں سبزی کا نام بھی نہ تھا ) پر بیٹھے۔ لیکن جوں ہی وہ وہاں سے اٹھے تو وہ جگہ سرسبز ہو کر لہلہانے لگی۔“

Telah bercerita kepada kami [Muhammad bin Sa'id Al Ashbahaniy] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Ibnu Al Mubarak] dari [Ma'mar] dari [Hammam bin Munabbih] dari [Abu Hurairah radliallahu 'anhu] dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Asal usul dinamakan al-Khadlir, karena ia biasa duduk di atas pakaian terbuat dari bulu binatang yang berwarna putih. Dan apabila pakaian itu bergerak-gerak (bulunya melambai-lambai) akan tampak dari baliknya warna kehijauan (Khadlra)

Ebu Hureyre r.a.'dan rivayete göre Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle buyurdu: "Hızır'a bu ismin veriliş sebebi, onun ot bitmeyen bir yere oturmuş olmasından sonra o yerin yeşil (hadra) olarak sarsılıvermesidir." el-Hamevi dedi ki: Muhammed b. Yusuf b. Matar el-firebri dedi ki: Bize Ali b. Haşrem, Süfyan'dan bu hadisi bu şekilde uzun uzadıya nakletti. Diğer tahric eden: Tirmizi Tefsirul Kur’an

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) says that Al-Khidr got this name because once he sat on a barren piece of land that had no plantation, and it turned into a greenery. Al-Khidr is mentioned in the story of Mūsa in Sūrat al-Kahf. Scholars differed whether he was a prophet or a righteous ally of Allah. The sound opinion is that he is a prophet.
