هل ذُكر اسم رجل يُدعى الخضر في القرآن الكريم؟

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The story of Al-Khidr with Musa (peace be upon him) is mentioned in Surat Al-Kahf without explicitly stating his name. Instead, he is referred to as: "And they found a servant from among Our servants to whom We had granted mercy from Us and whom We had taught from Our own knowledge." The Prophetic Sunnah has clarified that his name is Al-Khidr, and the reason for him being named so is that he sat on a white patch of earth which turned green behind him. The correct view among scholars is that he was a prophet among the prophets of Allah.
