Musa na Al-Khadhir - Hadithi Za Qur'ani | Quran Course

"Usinihesabu kwa yale niliyosahau, wala usinitie ugumu kwa jambo langu (nawe)." Kisha wakaendelea wote wawili, hadi walipokutana na kijana, naye (Al-Khadir) akamuua. Musa (Moses) akasema: "Je, umemuua nafsi isiyo na hatia, ambaye hakuua mtu? Hakika umefanya jambo baya sana (Nukr, yaani jambo ovu la kuchukiza na la kutisha)!" (Al-Khadir) akasema: "Je, sikukuambia kwamba huwezi kuwa na subira pamoja nami?" [Musa (Moses)] akasema: "Nikikuuliza jambo lolote baada ya hili, usinifanye mwenzako; umepata udhuru kutoka kwangu." Kisha wakaendelea wote wawili, hadi walipofika kwa watu wa mji mmoja, wakawaomba chakula, lakini wakakataa kuwakaribisha. Wakakuta ndani yake ukuta karibu kuanguka, naye (Al-Khadir) akautengeneza na kuunyoosha. [Musa (Moses)] akasema: "Kama ungetaka, bila shaka ungeweza kuchukua ujira kwa kazi hiyo!" (Al-Khadir) akasema: "Hiki ndicho kitengo cha kuachana kati yangu nawe. Nitakueleza tafsiri ya yale ambayo hukuweza kuvumilia. Kuhusu merikebu, ilikuwa ya masikini waliokuwa wakifanya kazi baharini. Nilitaka kuiharibu kidogo, kwa kuwa nyuma yao kulikuwa na mfalme aliyekuwa akichukua kila merikebu kwa nguvu. Na kuhusu kijana, wazazi wake walikuwa waumini, nasi tuliogopa asije akawatesa kwa uasi na ukafiri. Kwa hiyo tulitaka Mola wao awabadilishie mtoto mwingine bora kwa uadilifu na karibu zaidi na rehema. Na kuhusu ukuta, ulikuwa wa watoto wawili yatima katika mji; chini yake kulikuwa na hazina yao; baba yao alikuwa mtu mwema, na Mola wako alitaka wafikie umri wao wa nguvu kamili na watoe hazina yao kama rehema kutoka kwa Mola wako. Wala sikufanya hayo kwa hiari yangu. Hiyo ndiyo tafsiri ya yale ambayo hukuweza kuvumilia." (Al-Kahf, 60-82)

"Call me not to account for what I forgot,4 and be not hard upon me for my affair (with you);" Then they both proceeded, till they met a boy, and he (Al-Khadir) killed him; Musa (Moses) said: "Have you killed an innocent person who had killed none? Verily, you have committed a thing Nukr (a great Munkar prohibited, evil, dreadful thing)!" (Al- Khadir) said: "Did I not tell you that you can have no patience with me?" [Musa (Moses)] said: "If I ask you anything after this, keep me not in your company, you have received an excuse from me; " Then they both proceeded, till, when they came to the people of a town, they asked them for food, but they refused to entertain them; Then they found therein a wall about to collapse and he (Al-Khadir) set it up straight; (Musa (Moses)] said: If you had wished, surely, you could have taken wages for it!" (Al-Khadir) said: "This is the parting between me and you, I will tell you the interpretation of (those)things over which you were unable to hold patience. As for the ship, it belonged to Masakin (poor people) working in the sea. So I wished to make a defective damage in it, as there was a king behind them who seized every ship by force. And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared lest he should oppress them by rebellion and disbelief. So we intended that their Lord should change him for them for one better in righteousness and nearer to mercy. And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the town; and there was under it a treasure belonging to them; and their father was a righteous man, and your Lord intended that they should attain their age of full strength and take out their treasure as a mercy from your Lord. And I did them not of my own accord. That is the interpretation of those (things) over which you could not hold patience}. (Al-Kahf, 60-82)

Mtume (ﷺ) alisema: "Siku moja Nabii Musa alisimama na kuwahutubia Banu Israili. Aliulizwa: 'Ni nani aliye mwenye elimu zaidi miongoni mwa watu?' Akasema: 'Mimi ndiye mwenye elimu zaidi.' Allah alimkemea Musa kwa kuwa hakumrejeshea Allah elimu yote kikamilifu. Basi Allah akamfunulia: 'Katika mahali pa kukutana bahari mbili yupo mja wangu aliye na elimu zaidi kuliko wewe.' Musa akasema: 'Ee Mola wangu! Nitawezaje kukutana naye?' Allah Mtukufu akasema: 'Chukua samaki kwenye kikapu kikubwa (kisha uende), nawe utamkuta mahali utakapompoteza samaki.' Basi Musa akaondoka pamoja na kijana wake, Yusha bin Nuni, akibeba samaki kwenye kikapu kikubwa hadi walipofika kwenye jabali, wakaweka vichwa vyao (yaani wakalala) na kulala. Samaki alitoka kwenye kikapu na akaelekea baharini kama kwenye handaki. Hiyo ilikuwa jambo la ajabu kwa Musa na kijana wake. Wakaendelea kwa sehemu iliyobaki ya usiku ule na siku iliyofuata. Siku ilipochomoza, Musa alimwambia kijana wake: {Tuletee chakula chetu cha asubuhi. Hakika tumepata uchovu mwingi katika safari hii}. Musa hakuchoka hadi alipopita mahali alipoambiwa. Hapo kijana alimwambia Musa: {Je, unakumbuka tulipojilaza kwenye jabali, hakika nilimsahau samaki}. Musa akasema:"

The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: "Once Prophet Moses stood up and addressed Banu Israel. He was asked: "Who is the most learned man amongst the people?" He said: "I am the most learned." Allah admonished Moses as he did not attribute absolute knowledge to Him (Allah). So Allah inspired to him, "At the junction of the two seas there is a slave of mine who is more learned than you." Moses said: "O my Lord! How can I meet him?" Allah Almighty said: "Take a fish in a large basket (and proceed) and you will find him at the place where you will lose the fish." So Moses set out along with his (servant) boy, Yusha` bin Nun and carried a fish in a large basket till they reached a rock, where they laid their heads (i. e. lay down) and slept. The fish came out of the basket and it took its way into the sea as in a tunnel. So it was an amazing thing for both Moses and his (servant) boy. They proceeded for the rest of that night and the following day. When the day broke, Moses said to his (servant) boy: {Bring us our early meal. No doubt, we have suffered much fatigue in this journey}. Moses did not get tired till he passed the place about which he was told. There the (servant) boy told Moses: {Do you remember when we betook ourselves to the rock, I indeed forgot the fish}. Moses remarked:

{Hayo ndiyo tuliyokuwa tukiyatafuta}, basi wakarudi nyuma wakifuata nyayo zao, mpaka wakafika kwenye jiwe. Huko wakamwona mtu amejifunika nguo (au amejifunika kwa nguo yake mwenyewe). Musa akamsalimia. Al-Khadhir akajibu akisema: "Watu wanasalimiana vipi katika nchi yenu?" Musa akasema: "Mimi ni Musa." Akauliza: "Musa wa Bani Israili?" Musa akajibu kwa kukubali, akaongeza: "Je, naweza kukufuata ili unifundishe ile elimu uliyofundishwa?" Al-Khadhir akajibu: "Hakika wewe hutaweza kuvumilia pamoja nami, ee Musa! Mimi ninayo sehemu ya elimu ya Allah aliyonifundisha, ambayo wewe huijui, nawe unayo sehemu ya elimu aliyokufundisha Allah ambayo mimi siijui." Musa akasema: "Allah akipenda, utaniona mvumilivu, wala sitakuasi katika jambo lolote." Basi wote wawili wakaanza kutembea kando ya ufukwe wa bahari, kwa kuwa hawakuwa na mashua. Wakati huo mashua ikapita karibu nao, wakawaomba wafanyakazi wa mashua wawapandishe ndani. Wafanyakazi walimtambua Al-Khadhir, wakawapandisha ndani bila malipo.

{That is what we have been seeking. So they went back retracing their footsteps}, till they reached the rock. There they saw a man covered with a garment (or covering himself with his own garment). Moses greeted him. Al- Khadir replied saying: "How do people greet each other in your land?" Moses said: "I am Moses." He asked: "The Moses of Banu Israel?" Moses replied in the affirmative and added: "May I follow you so that you teach me of that knowledge which you have been taught." Al-Khadir replied: "Verily! You will not be able to remain patient with me, 0 Moses! I have some of the knowledge of Allah which He has taught me and which you do not know, while you have some knowledge which Allah has taught you which I do not know." Moses said: "Allah willing, you will find me patient and I will not disobey you in aught. So both of them set out walking along the seashore, as they did not have a boat. In the meantime a boat passed by them and they requested the crew of the boa(. to take them on board. The crew recognized Al-Khadir and took them on board without fare.

Imam Al-Bukhari alisema: Aliniambia Muhammad Ibn Sa'id Al-Asbahani, baada ya Ibn Al-Mubarak, baada ya Mu`amir, baada ya Hammam, kwa mamlaka ya Abu Hurairah (Allah amridhie), kwamba Nabii ﷺ alisema: "Al-Khadir aliitwa hivyo kwa sababu alikaa juu ya ardhi nyeupe isiyo na mimea, ikageuka kijani kwa mimea baada ya (kukaa kwake juu yake)." Qabisah alisimulia kwa mamlaka ya Ath-Thauri, baada ya Mansur, baada ya Mujahid, akisema: Al-Khadir aliitwa hivyo kwa sababu kila kitu kilicho karibu naye kilikuwa kikigeuka kijani wakati aliposimama kusali. Ilikwisha kusemwa awali kwamba Musa na Yusha` (Amani iwe juu yao) walirudi nyuma wakifuata nyayo zao, mpaka wakafika kwenye jiwe. Huko wakamwona mtu aliyefunikwa vazi la kijani (au aliyejifunika kwa vazi lake mwenyewe). Musa alimsalimia. Al-Khadir akajibu akisema: "Watu wanasalimiana vipi katika nchi yenu?" Musa akasema: "Mimi ni Musa." Akauliza: "Musa wa Bani Israili?" Musa alijibu kwa uthibitisho na akaongeza: "Je, naweza kukufuata ili unifundishe ujuzi ule ambao umefundishwa... n.k."

Imam Al-Bukhari said: I was told by Muhammad Ibn Sa'id Al-Asbahani after Ibn Al-Mubarak after Mu`amir after Hammam on the authority of Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: "Al- Khadir was named so because he sat over a barren white land, it turned green with plantation after (his sitting over It)." Qabisah narrated on the authority of Ath-Thauri after Mansur after Mujahid as saying: Al-Khadir was named so because everything around him used to turn into green when he stands for prayer. It was stated earlier that Moses and Yusha` (Peace be upon them) went back retracing their footsteps, till they reached the rock. There they saw a man covered with a green garment (or covering himself with his own garment). Moses greeted him. Al-Khadir replied saying: "How do people greet each other in your land?" Moses said: "I am Moses." He asked: "The Moses of Banu Israel?" Moses replied in the affirmative and added: "May I follow you so that you teach me of that knowledge which you have been taught... etc."

Kwanza: Allah Mtukufu anasema: {Kisha wakamkuta mmoja wa waja wetu, ambaye tulimpa rehema kutoka kwetu, na tukamfundisha elimu kutoka kwetu}. (Al-Kahf, 65)

First: Allah the Almighty says: {Then they found one of Our slaves, on whom We had bestowed mercy from Us, and whom We had taught knowledge from Us}. (Al-Kahf, 65)

Pili: Musa akamwambia Al-Khadir: {

Second: Moses says to Al-Khadir: {Musa (Moses) said to him (Al-Khadir):

"Je, naweza kukufuata ili unifundishe sehemu ya elimu (mwongozo na njia iliyo sahihi) uliyofundishwa (na Allah)?" Yeye (Al-Khadir) alisema: "Hakika hutaweza kuwa na subira pamoja nami! Na utawezaje kuwa na subira juu ya jambo usilolijua?" Musa (Moses) alisema: "Akitaka Allah, utanikuta mvumilivu, wala sitakuasi katika jambo lolote." Yeye (Al-Khadir) alisema: "Basi, ikiwa utanifuata, usiniulize chochote mpaka mimi mwenyewe nikutajie kukihusu."" (Al-Kahf, 66-70) Kwa hiyo, lau yeye asingekuwa Nabii, Musa asingemzungumzia kwa namna hiyo, wala yeye asingemjibu kwa namna hiyo pia. Musa alitaka kuambatana naye kwa sababu alitaka kupata baadhi ya elimu aliyopewa Al-Khadir na Allah, na ile ambayo Musa hakuipata. Lau Al-Khadir angekuwa si Nabii, asingekuwa hana kosa. Hivyo, Musa asingekuwa na hamu ya kuambatana naye kwa sababu Musa mwenyewe alikuwa Nabii mtukufu na Mtume asiye na kosa.

"May I follow you so that you teach me something of that knowledge (guidance and true path) which you have been taught (by Allah)?" He (Al-Khadir) said: "Verily you will not be able to have patience with me! And how can you have patience about a thing which you know not." Musa (Moses) said: "If Allah wills, you will find me patient, and I will not disobey you in aught." He (Al-Khadir) said: "Then, if you follow me, ask me not about anything till I myself mention of it to you"). (Al-Kahf, 66-70) So, were he not a Prophet, Moses would not address him that way, and he would not answer Moses that way as well. Moses sought his company because he wanted to get some of the knowledge Al-Khadir was given by Allah and that which Moses did not get. Were Al-Khadir anything but a Prophet, he would not be infallible. Thus, Moses would not be keen to accompany him because Moses himself was an honorable Prophet and an infallible Messenger.

Kama Al-Khadir angekuwa kitu kingine zaidi ya Nabii, Musa asingejisumbua kumtafuta kwa miaka themanini. Musa alipokutana na Al-Khadir, alimheshimu sana na kumfuata kwa unyenyekevu ili apate kadiri kubwa zaidi ya elimu yake ya kiungu.

Were Al-Khadir anything but a Prophet, Moses would not take the trouble of searching for him for eighty years. When Moses met with Al-Khadir, Moses highly respected him and followed him submissively to gain as much as possible of his divine knowledge.

Tatu: Al-Khadir alimuua yule kijana kwa makusudi. Asingefanya hivyo bila ufunuo kutoka kwa Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala ukimwamuru afanye hivyo. Tukio hili linaweza kusimama kama ushahidi wa pekee kwamba Al-Khadir alikuwa Nabii. Pia linaweza kusimama kama ushahidi kwamba alikuwa asiye na kosa. Al-Khadir alimuua kijana kwa sababu alifunuliwa kwamba kijana huyo angekuwa kafiri atakapokua, na kwamba wazazi wake wangemfuata kutokana na mapenzi yao makubwa kwake. Hivyo alimuua ili kuokoa imani ya wazazi. Hili lilionyesha kwamba alikuwa Nabii asiye na kosa.

Third: Al-Khadir intentionally killed the boy. He would not do that without an inspiration from Allah Almighty ordering him to. This incident can stand as a separate proof that Al-Khadir was a Prophet. It can stand as well, as a proof that he was infallible. Al-Khadir killed the boy because he was inspired that the boy would be a disbeliever when he grows up and that his parents would follow him due to their earnest love for him. So he killed him to save the faith of the parents. This indicated that he was an infallible Prophet.

Nne: Wakati Al-Khadhir alipomfafanulia na kumweleza Musa vitendo alivyofanya na kumfafanulia kila kitu, aliongeza: {Ni rehema kutoka kwa Mola wako Mlezi.

Fourth: When Al-Khadir interpreted and explained for Moses the actions he took and clarified everything to him he added: {As a mercy from your Lord.

Sikufanya hayo kwa hiari yangu}, yaani sikuyafanya kwa matakwa yangu, bali nilaamrishwa kufanya hivyo kwa ufunuo wa kimungu. Haya yote yalidhihirisha unabii wake na kutokuwa kwake na makosa.

And I did them not of my own accord}, i.e. I did not do that out of my desire, instead, I was ordered to by divine inspiration. All these indicated his Prophethood and infallibility.

Wengi wa wanazuoni walisema: "Al-Khadir bado yuko hai kwa sababu yeye ndiye aliyemzika Adamu (amani iwe juu yake) baada ya gharika, na hivyo akaathiriwa na dua ya Adamu kwamba atakayemzika ataishi maisha marefu." Baadhi ya watu walisema: "Yuko hai kwa sababu alinywa kutoka chemchemi ya uhai." Kuna simulizi na hadithi nyingi ambazo wale walioona kuwa Al-Khadir yuko hai leo wamezitegemea kuunda maoni yao. Lakini simulizi na hadithi zote zinazohusu suala hilo ni dhaifu na za kubuniwa, na wale waliozisimulia si watu wasio na kosa.

The majority of scholars said: "Al-Khadir is still alive because he was the one who buried Adam (Peace be upon him) after the Deluge and thus he was affected by the invocation of Adam that he who buries him will live long." Some people said: "he is still alive because he drank of the spring of life." There are so many narrations and stories on which those who viewed the existence of Al-Khadir today based their opinion. But, all the narrations and Hadiths pertaining to that issue are weak and invented and those who narrated them are not infallible.

'Abdur Razzaq alisema: Nilisimuliwa na Mu'amir kwamba Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri alisema:

'Abdur Razzaq said: I was told by Mu' amir that Abu Sa'id AI-Khudri said:

"Siku moja Mtume wa Allah ﷺ alitusimulia simulizi ndefu kuhusu Ad-Dajjal, na miongoni mwa mambo aliyotusimulia ni: 'Ad-Dajjal atakuja, naye atazuiwa kuingia katika njia za milimani za Madina. Atapiga kambi katika moja ya maeneo ya chumvi yanayopakana na Madina, naye atamtokea mtu mmoja ambaye atakuwa mbora wa watu au mmoja wa watu bora. Atasema: "Nashuhudia kwamba wewe ndiye Ad-Dajjal ambaye habari zake Mtume wa Allah ﷺ alituambia." Ad-Dajjal atasema (kwa hadhira yake): "Tazameni, je, nikimuua mtu huyu kisha nikamrudishia uhai, mtakuwa na shaka yoyote kuhusu madai yangu?" Watajibu: "Hapana." Kisha Ad-Dajjal atamuua mtu huyo kisha atamfufua. Mtu huyo atasema: "Kwa Allah, sasa ninakutambua zaidi ya wakati wowote!" Ad-Dajjal kisha atajaribu kumuua tena, lakini hatapewa uwezo wa kufanya hivyo.' Mu'amir alisema: Niliambiwa kwamba mtu anayesimama kupinga Dajjal ni Al-Khadir, na kwamba shingo yake siku hiyo itafunikwa kwa shaba."

"One day Allah's Messenger (Peace be upon him) narrated to us a long narration about Ad-Dajjal and among the things he narrated to us, was: 'Ad-Dajjal will come, and he will be forbidden to enter the mountain passes of Medina. He will encamp in one of the salt areas neighboring Medina and there will appear to him a man who will be the best or one of the best of the people. He will say: 'I testify that you are Ad-Dajjal whose story Allah's Messenger has told us. 'Ad Dajjal will say (to his audience): 'Look, if I kill this man and then give him life, will you have any doubt about my claim?' They will reply: 'No.' Then Ad Dajjal will kill that man and then will make him alive. The man will say: 'By Allah, now I recognize you more than ever! 'Ad-Dajjal will then try to kill him (again) but he will not be given the power to do so. ", Mu'amir said: I was told that the man who stands against the Dajjal is Al-Khadir and that his neck on that day would be covered with brass.

Sheikh Abu Al-Faraj Ibn Al-Jawzi alikanusha hadithi hizi zote na akathibitisha kwamba zote ni za kubuniwa, na akathibitisha kwamba silsila za wapokezi wa simulizi na hadithi za Masahaba wa Mtume ﷺ na Tabi'ina ni dhaifu na zina kasoro.

Sheik Abu Al-Faraj Ibn Al-Jawzi refuted all these Hadiths and proved them all to be invented, and he proved the Chains of Transmission of the narrations and stories of the Prophet's Companions and followers to be weak and fallible.

Hakika, Ibn Al-Jawzi alikuwa na nguvu sana na alikuwa wa kweli katika kufanya hivyo.

Indeed, Ibn Al-Jawzi was very powerful and authentic in doing so.

Kuhusu wale waliodai kuwa Al-Khadir amekufa, kama Imam Al-Bukhari, Abu Al-Husain Ibn Al-Munadi na sheikh Abu Al-Faraj Ibn Al-Jawzi, walitumia kama dalili zao za kimaandiko yafuatayo: Allah Mtukufu anasema: {Wala hatukumpa mwanadamu yeyote kudumu milele kabla yako (Ee Muhammad ﷺ): basi ukifa, je, wao wataishi milele?}. (Al-Anbyia', 34) Kwa hiyo, kama Al-Khadir angekuwa binadamu, angeathiriwa na hukumu hii: yeye ni wa kufa, lazima afe. Allah Mtukufu anasema: {Na (kumbukeni) pale Allah alipochukua ahadi ya Manabii, akisema: "Chukueni kile nilichowapa katika Kitabu na Hikma (ufahamu wa Sheria za Allah), kisha baadaye atakujieni Mtume (Muhammad ﷺ) anayethibitisha yale yaliyo nanyi; basi lazima mmwamini na mumsaidie." Allah alisema: "Je, mmekubali (hilo) na mtakubali Ahadi Yangu (ninayofanya nanyi)?" Wakasema: "Tumekubali." Akasema: "Basi shuhudieni; nami ni pamoja nanyi miongoni mwa mashahidi (juu ya hilo)"}. (Al 'Imran, 81) Ibn 'Abbas (Allah amridhie) alisema: Allah alichukua ahadi ya Manabii wote kumwamini Muhammad ﷺ na kumsaidia endapo atatokea wakiwa hai. Zaidi ya hayo, walipaswa kuchukua ahadi kutoka kwa umma wao wote kumwamini na kumsaidia kwa namna hiyo hiyo.

As for those who claimed Al-Khadir to be dead such as Imam Al-Bukhari, Abu Al-Husain Ibn Al-Munadi and sheik Abu Al-Faraj Ibn Al-Jawzi, they held as their textual proofs what follows: Allah the Almighty says: {And We granted not to any human being immortality before you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him»: then if you die, would they live forever?}. (Al-Anbyia', 34) So if Al-Khadir was a human being, he would be affected by this ruling: he is mortal, he must die. Allah the Almighty says: {And (remember) when Allah took the Covenant of the Prophets, saying: "Take whatever I gave you from the Book and Hikmah (understanding of the Laws of Allah), and afterwards there will come to you a Messenger (Muhammad (Peace be upon him» confirming what is with you; you must, then, believe in him and help him." Allah said: "Do you agree (to it) and will you take up My Covenant (which I conclude with you)?" They said: "We agree." He said: "Then bear witness; and I am with you among the witnesses (for this)"). (Al 'Imran, 81) Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him) said: Allah took the Covenant of all the Prophets to believe in Muhammad and support him if he appears during their lifetimes. In addition, they should take the Covenant of all their own nations to believe in him and support him in the same way.

Kwa hiyo, iwapo Al-Khadir angekuwa Nabii au Wali (mlinzi au msimamizi), angeshirikishwa katika Agano hilo, na iwapo angekuwa hai wakati wa maisha ya Nabii Muhammad ﷺ, angemfuata na kujitokeza mbele yake akitoa kiapo cha utii na imani kamili.

Thereupon, were Al-Khadir a Prophet or a Wali (protector or guardian), he would be involved in that Covenant and that were he alive during the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him), he would follow him and present himself before him paying allegiance and absolute faith.

Imamu Ahmad alisimulia: Nilisimuliwa na Shuraih Ibn An-Nu'man, baada ya Hashim, baada ya Mujalid, baada ya Ash-Shi'bi, baada ya Jabir Ibn 'Abdullah, kwamba Mtume ﷺ alisema: "Naapa kwa Yule ambaye nafsi yangu iko mikononi mwake! Lau Musa angekuwa hai, asingefanya lolote isipokuwa kunifuata mimi." Huu ndio msimamo thabiti ambao Aya ya Qur'ani iliyotangulia inaonyesha, kwamba Manabii wote - ikiwa wangeishi wakati wa maisha ya Mtume Muhammad ﷺ - wameamriwa kumfuata yeye na kufuata Shari'ah yake mwenyewe.

Imam Ahmed narrated: I was told by Shuraih Ibn An-Nu'man after Hashim after Mujalid after AshShi'bi after Jabir Ibn 'Abdullah that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is! Were Moses alive, he would do nothing but follow me." This is the decisive view which the earlier Qur'anic Verse indicates that all Prophets -if they happen to live during the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad -are ordered to follow him and practice his own Shari `ah.

Katika Safari ya Usiku, yeye ﷺ alipandishwa juu sana zaidi yao wote.5

On the Night Journey, he (Peace be upon him) was raised far above them all.5

Walipofika Jerusalem na wakati wa Swala ukawadia, aliamrishwa yeye ﷺ awaongoze wote katika Swala. Hili lilidhihirisha kuwa yeye ndiye Imamu mkuu zaidi na Nabii wa mwisho aliye mtukufu na mwenye heshima kubwa zaidi (Allah amrehemu yeye na wote).

When they descended to Jerusalem and the time for Prayer was due, he (Peace be upon him) was ordered to lead them all (in Prayer). This showed that he is the greatest Imam and the last Prophet who is most honored and respected (May Allah grant him and them all mercy).

Kisha, kama Al-Khadir angekuwa hai, angeungana na Nabii Muhammad ﷺ, na angefuata dini yake katika kila undani. Huyu ni Nabii Isa (Yesu) ﷺ atakaposhuka mwishoni mwa zama; atatawala dunia nzima kwa mujibu wa sheria hii tukufu ya Nabii Muhammad ﷺ.

Thereupon, if Al-Khadir were alive, he would be joining forces with Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him), and he would follow his religion in every minute detail. This is Prophet `Isa (Jesus (Peace be upon him)) when he will descends by the end of time, he will rule over the whole world in accordance with this honorable legislation of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him).

Hakuna chochote kinachothibitisha kwamba Al-Khadir alikutana na Mtume Muhammad ﷺ siku moja, wala kwamba alishuhudia vita yoyote pamoja naye dhidi ya washirikina au makafiri. Siku ile iliyopiganwa Vita vya Badr, Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ alitazama upande wa makafiri, nao walikuwa elfu moja (1000), na Maswahaba wake walikuwa mia tatu na kumi na tisa (319). Nabii wa Allah ﷺ aligeukia Qibla. Kisha akanyoosha mikono yake na kuanza kuomba dua kwa Mola wake: "Ee Allah! Nitimizie ulichoniahidi. Ee Allah! Lete ulichoniahidi. Ee Allah! Ikiwa kikundi hiki kidogo cha Waislamu kitaangamizwa, Wewe hutaabudiwa tena katika ardhi hii." Aliendelea kuomba dua kwa Mola wake ﷺ, akinyoosha mikono, akielekea Qibla, mpaka joho lake likateleza kutoka mabegani mwake. Ndipo Abu Bakr (Allah amridhie) akamwendea, akalichukua joho lake na kulivisha mabegani mwake. Kisha (Abu Bakr) akamkumbatia kutoka nyuma na kusema: "Ee"

However, there is nothing to certify that Al-Khadir has met together with Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) in a single day or even witnessed any fight with him against the polytheists or the infidels. On the day on which the Battle of Badr was fought, the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) cast a glance at the infidels, and they were one thousand (1000) while his own Companions were three hundred and nineteen (319). Allah's Prophet (Peace be upon him) turned (his face) towards the Qiblah. Then, he stretched his hands and began his supplication to his Lord: 'O Allah! Accomplish for me what Thou hast promised to me. 0 Allah! Bring about what Thou hast promised to me. 0 Allah! If this small band of Muslims is destroyed, Thou will not be worshipped on this earth.' He (Peace be upon him) continued his supplication to his Lord, stretching his hands, facing the Qiblah, until his mantle slipped down from his shoulders. So Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) came to him, picked up his mantle and put it on his shoulders. Then he (Abu Bakr) embraced him from behind and said: 0

Ewe Nabii wa Mwenyezi Mungu! Dua hii uliyomwomba Mola wako itakutosha, naye atakutimizia alilokuahidi. Basi Allah, Mtukufu na Mwenye enzi, akateremsha (aya ya Qur'ani): {(Kumbukeni) mlipomwomba Mola wenu msaada, naye akakujibu (akasema): Nitawasaidia kwa malaika elfu moja, wanaofuatana (wakifuatana mmoja baada ya mwingine)}. (Al-Anfal, 9) Basi Allah akamsaidia kwa malaika." (Sahih Muslim) Note: The ﷺ symbol is not included here because the Prophet is addressed directly as "Nabii wa Mwenyezi Mungu" in the opening line, and the rules call for ﷺ after mentions of the Prophet in the original text; the only mention in the source is the vocative "Prophet of Allah!" which I have rendered as "Ewe Nabii wa Mwenyezi Mungu!" Following your rules, ﷺ should be written after this mention, so the corrected translation is: Ewe Nabii wa Mwenyezi Mungu ﷺ! Dua hii uliyomwomba Mola wako itakutosha, naye atakutimizia alilokuahidi. Basi Allah, Mtukufu na Mwenye enzi, akateremsha (aya ya Qur'ani): {(Kumbukeni) mlipomwomba Mola wenu msaada, naye akakujibu (akasema): Nitawasaidia kwa malaika elfu moja, wanaofuatana (wakifuatana mmoja baada ya mwingine)}. (Al-Anfal, 9) Basi Allah akamsaidia kwa malaika." (Sahih Muslim)

Prophet of Allah! This prayer of yours to your Lord will suffice you, and He will fulfil for you what He has promised you. So Allah, the Glorious and Exalted, revealed (the Qur'anic verse): {(Remember) when you sought help of your Lord and He answered you (saying): I will help you with a thousand of the angels each behind the other (following one another) in succession}. (Al-Anfal, 9) So Allah helped him with angels." (Sahih Muslim)

Hata hivyo, "kikosi hiki kidogo cha Waislamu" kilikuwa basi kinajumuisha viongozi miongoni mwa Waislamu na Malaika, ambao mkuu wao alikuwa Jibril (Gabriel (Amani iwe juu yake)). Kwa hiyo, kama Al-Khadir angekuwa hai, kuwepo kwake kungekuwa jambo bora zaidi ambalo angeweza kulifanya kamwe. Al-Qadi Abu Ya`la Muhammad Ibn Al-Husain Al- Fara' Al-Hanbali amesimulia: Baadhi ya watu waliwauliza baadhi ya masahaba wetu kuhusu Al-Khadir, je, amekufa? Wakajibu: "Ndiyo." Baadhi ya watu wanadai kwamba Al-Khadir alikuwepo wakati wa matukio yote haya ya zamani lakini hakuna aliyeweza kumwona kwa sababu alikuwa hafichiki. Ni wazi kwamba dai hili halina msingi na linatokana tu na udanganyifu. Kwa hakika, kama bado alikuwa hai wakati wa uhai wa Nabii Muhammad ﷺ (Amani iwe juu yake), bila shaka angejiunga naye katika vita vyake dhidi ya washirikina wa kabila la Quraish. Angalia Hadith ifuatayo: Amesimulia Sa'd (Allah amridhie): "Siku ya Uhud niliona upande wa kulia wa Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ (Amani iwe juu yake) na upande wake wa kushoto watu wawili waliovaa nguo nyeupe, ambao sikuwahi kuwaona kabla wala baada ya hapo, nao walikuwa Gabriel na Michael (Allah awaridhie wote wawili)." (Sahih Muslim)

However, this' small band of Muslims' consisted, then, of the chiefs from among the Muslims and the angels, foremost among whom was Jibril (Gabriel (Peace be upon him)). Thus, if Al-Khadir were alive, his presence, then, would be the best thing he could ever do. Narrated Al-Qadi Abu Ya`la Muhammad Ibn Al-Husain Al- Fara' Al-Hanbali: Some people asked some of our companions about Al-Khadir, was he dead? They answered: "Yes." Some people claim that Al-Khadir was present during all these past events but no one could see him because he was invisible. Obviously, this claim is groundless and is based only on illusions. Indeed, if he was still alive during the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him), he would certainly join him in his fight against the polytheists of the tribe of Quraish. See the following Hadith: Narrated Sa'd (May Allah be pleased with him): "On the Day of Uhud I saw on the right side of Allah's Messenger (Peace be upon him) and on his left side two persons dressed in white clothes and whom I did not see before nor after that, and they were Gabriel and Michael (may Allah be pleased with both of them)." (Sahih Muslim)

Pia, 'Abdullah Ibn `Umar (Allah awe radhi nao wawili) alisema: "Siku moja Mtume ﷺ alituongoza katika Sala ya `Isha' (ya usiku)

In addition, 'Abdullah Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with both of them) said: "Once the Prophet (Peace be upon him) led us in the `Isha' (Night)

Sala ya kuswali katika siku za mwisho za maisha yake na baada ya kuimaliza (Sala) (kwa Taslim, yaani salamu ya mwisho) alisema: 'Je, mnatambua (umuhimu wa) usiku huu? Hakuna aliyepo juu ya uso wa dunia usiku huu atakayekuwa hai baada ya kutimia miaka mia moja tangu usiku huu.' (Sahih Al-Bukhari) Na, `Abdullah bin `Umar (Allah awe radhi nao wote wawili) amesimulia: "Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ alituongoza katika Sala ya `Isha' (ya Usiku) katika sehemu ya mwisho wa usiku, na alipomaliza kwa salamu alisimama na kusema: 'Mmeuona usiku wenu huu? Mwishoni mwa miaka mia moja baada ya (usiku) huu hakuna atakayebaki hai juu ya uso wa dunia (miongoni mwa Masahaba wangu).' Ibn `Umar alisema: Watu walikuwa (hawaelewi) maneno haya ya Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ yaliyosemwa kuhusu miaka mia moja. Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ kwa hakika alimaanisha (kwa maneno haya) kwamba siku hiyo hakuna miongoni mwa wale waliokuwa hai juu ya ardhi (miongoni mwa Masahaba wake) atakayebaki (baada ya miaka mia moja), na hiyo ndiyo ingekuwa mwisho wa kizazi hiki." (Sahih Muslim)

Prayer during the last days of his life and after finishing it (the Prayer) (with Taslim, i.e. final salutation) he said: 'Do you realize (the importance of) this night? Nobody present on the surface of the earth tonight will be living after the completion of one hundred years from this night. ", (Sahih Al-Bukhari) And, `Abdullah Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with both of them) narrated: "Allah's Messenger (Peace be upon him) led us in the `Isha' (Night) Prayer at the latter part of the night and when he had concluded it by salutations he stood up and said: 'Have you seen this night of yours? At the end of one hundred years after this (night) none would survive on the surface of the earth (from among my Companions).' Ibn `Umar said: People were (not understanding) these words of the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) which had been uttered pertaining to one hundred years. Allah's Messenger (Peace be upon him) in fact meant (by these words) that on that day none from amongst those who had been living upon the earth (from amongst his Companions) would survive (after one hundred years) and that would be the end of this generation." (Sahih Muslim)

Na, Jabir Ibn `Abdullah (Allah amridhike) alisimulia: "Nilimsikia Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ akisema hivi mwezi mmoja kabla ya kifo chake: 'Mliniuliza kuhusu Saa, ilhali elimu yake iko kwa Allah. Mimi nakula kiapo na kusema kwamba hakuna aliye juu ya ardhi, viumbe (miongoni mwa Masahaba wangu), atakayebaki mwisho wa miaka mia moja.'" Hadithi hii imepokewa kupitia kwa Ibn Juraij kwa mnyororo uleule wa wapokezi, lakini hakuna kutajwa kwa maneno: "mwezi mmoja kabla ya kifo chake." (Sahih Muslim) Kwa hiyo, hata kama Al-Khadhir angekuwa hai wakati wa uhai wa Nabii Muhammad ﷺ, basi angekuwa amekufa kulingana na Hadithi hizi zilizotajwa hapo juu. Na Allah ndiye Anayejua zaidi!

And, Jabir Ibn `Abdullah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: "I heard Allah's Messenger (Peace be upon him) as saying this one month before his death: 'You asked me about the Last Hour whereas its knowledge is with Allah. I, however, take an oath and say that none upon the earth, the created beings (from amongst my Companions), would survive at the end of one hundred years." This Hadith has been narrated on the authority of Ibn Juraij with the same chain of transmitters, but there is no mention of the words: "one month before his death." (Sahih Muslim) So, even if Al-Khadir were alive during the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him), he would, then, be dead in accordance with these above-mentioned Hadiths. And, Allah knows best!
