(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْخَضِرِ إِنَّمَا سُمِّيَ خَضِرًا إِنَّهُ جَلَسَ عَلَى فَرْوَةٍ بَيْضَاءَ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَحْتَهُ خَضْرَاءُ
(Second chain) Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The reason for Khidr's name is that when he would sit on barren land where there was no greenery, it would become green beneath him.
