عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ : خَرَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي بَعْضِ اللَّيَالِي أَحْمِلُ لَهُ الطَّهُورَ ، إِذْ سَمِعَ مُنَادِيًا فَقَالَ : " يَا أَنَسُ صَهٍ " . فَقَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى مَا يُنَجِّينِي مِمَّا خَوَّفْتَنِي مِنْهُ . فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " لَوْ قَالَ أُخْتَهَا " . فَكَأَنَّ الرَّجُلَ لُقِّنَ مَا أَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : وَارْزُقْنِي شَوْقَ الصَّادِقِينَ إِلَى مَا شَوَّقْتَهُمْ إِلَيْهِ . فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " يَا أَنَسُ ، ضَعِ الطَّهُورَ وَائْتِ هَذَا الْمُنَادِي ، فَقُلْ لَهُ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَنْ يُعِينَهُ عَلَى مَا ابْتَعَثَهُ بِهِ ، وَادْعُ لِأُمَّتِهِ أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا مَا أَتَاهُمْ بِهِ نَبِيُّهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ " . فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ : ادْعُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَنْ يُعِينَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَا ابْتَعَثَهُ بِهِ ، وَادْعُ لِأُمَّتِهِ أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا مَا أَتَاهُمْ بِهِ نَبِيُّهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ . فَقَالَ : وَمَنْ أَرْسَلَكَ ؟ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُعْلِمَهُ وَلَمْ أَسْتَأْذِنْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقُلْتُ : وَمَا عَلَيْكَ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ بِمَا سَأَلْتُكَ ؟ فَقَالَ : أَوَّلًا تُخْبِرُنِي مَنْ أَرْسَلَكَ ؟ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِمَا قَالَ ، فَقَالَ : " قُلْ لَهُ : أَنَا رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - " . فَقَالَ لِي : مَرْحَبًا بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ، وَمَرْحَبًا بِرَسُولِهِ ، أَنَا أَحَقُّ أَنْ آتِيَهُ ، أَقْرِئْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ السَّلَامَ وَقُلْ لَهُ : الْخَضِرُ يُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ وَيَقُولُ لَكَ : إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ فَضَّلَكَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّينَ كَمَا فَضَّلَ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ عَلَى سَائِرِ الشُّهُورِ ، وَفَضَّلَ أُمَّتَكَ عَلَى الْأُمَمِ كَمَا فَضَّلَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ عَلَى سَائِرِ الْأَيَّامِ . فَلَمَّا وَلَّيْتُ عَنْهُ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ : اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ الْمَرْحُومَةِ الْمُرْشَدَةِ الْمُتَابِ عَلَيْهَا . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَفِيهِ الْوَضَّاحُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ الْكُوفِيُّ ، تَكَلَّمَ فِيهِ أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْمُنَادِي ، وَشَيْخُ الطَّبَرَانِيِّ بِشْرُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ بِشْرٍ الْعَمِّيُّ لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ ثِقَاتٌ .
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) states: One night I went out with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), carrying water for purification for him (peace and blessings be upon him). Meanwhile the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) heard someone calling out, and he said: "O Anas, be quiet." The man said: "O Allah, help me with what will save me from that which You have made me fear." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If only he had said its companion supplication too." It was as if the man had been prompted with what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wanted, and he said: "And grant me the longing of the truthful for what You have made them long for." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Anas, put down the water for purification, go to this caller, and tell him to pray for the Messenger of Allah that He help him in the task for which He sent him, and pray for his Ummah that it take hold of the truth that its Prophet has brought to it." Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I came to that man and said: "Pray for the Messenger of Allah that Allah Almighty help him in that with which He has sent him, and pray for his Ummah that it accept the truth that its Prophet has brought to it." The man asked: "Who sent you?" I did not like to tell him, because I had not asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for permission about this. I said: "What concern is it of yours? May Allah Almighty have mercy on you! Do what I have asked you." He said: "Will you not tell me who sent you?" I returned to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him what the man had said. He said: "Tell him: I am the messenger of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." The man said to me: "Welcome to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and welcome to his messenger! I have more right to go to him and present my greeting of peace in his service. In any case, tell him that Sayyiduna Khidr (peace be upon him) conveys his greeting of peace to you and says to you: Allah Almighty has given you superiority over all the other prophets just as He has given the month of Ramadan superiority over the other months, and He has given your (peace and blessings be upon him) Ummah superiority over the other nations just as He has given the day of Friday superiority over all the other days." When I turned back from that man, I heard him say: "O Allah, include me in this Ummah, which has been shown mercy, which has been guided, and whose repentance has been accepted."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains al-Waddah bin Abbad al-Kufi, who was criticised by Abu al-Husayn bin al-Munadi, and al-Tabarani's teacher Bishr bin Ali bin Bishr al-Ammi, whom I do not know; the rest of its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).

وَعَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكُمْ ، عَنِ الْخَضِرِ ؟ " . قَالُوا : بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " بَيْنَمَا هُوَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ يَمْشِي فِي سُوقِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ، أَبْصَرَهُ رَجُلٌ مُكَاتَبٌ فَقَالَ : تَصَدَّقْ عَلَيَّ ، بَارَكَ اللَّهُ فِيكَ . فَقَالَ الْخَضِرُ : آمَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ ، مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنْ أَمْرٍ يَكُونُ ، مَا عِنْدِي شَيْءٌ أُعْطِيكَهُ . فَقَالَ الْمِسْكِينُ : أَسْأَلُكَ بِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ لَمَا تَصَدَّقْتَ عَلَيَّ ، فَإِنِّي نَظَرْتُ السَّمَاحَةَ فِي وَجْهِكَ ، وَرَجَوْتُ الْبَرَكَةَ عِنْدَكَ . فَقَالَ الْخَضِرُ : آمَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ ، مَا عِنْدِي شَيْءٌ أُعْطِيكَهُ إِلَّا أَنْ تَأْخُذَنِي فَتَبِيعَنِي . فَقَالَ الْمِسْكِينُ : وَهَلْ يَسْتَقِيمُ هَذَا ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمِ [ الْحَقُ ] أَقُولُ لَقَدْ سَأَلْتَنِي بِأَمْرٍ عَظِيمٍ ، أَمَا إِنِّي لَا أُخَيِّبُكَ بِوَجْهِ رَبِّي بِعْنِي . قَالَ : فَقَدَّمَهُ إِلَى السُّوقِ فَبَاعَهُ بِأَرْبَعِمِائَةٍ دِرْهَمٍ ، فَمَكَثَ عِنْدَ الْمُشْتَرِي زَمَانًا لَا يَسْتَعْمِلُهُ فِي شَيْءٍ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : إِنَّكَ إِنَّمَا اشْتَرَيْتَنِي الْتِمَاسَ خَيْرٍ عِنْدِي ، فَأَوْصِنِي بِعَمَلِ . قَالَ : أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَيْكَ ، إِنَّكَ شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ ضَعِيفٌ . قَالَ : لَيْسَ يَشُقُّ عَلَيَّ . قَالَ : قُمْ فَانْقُلْ هَذِهِ الْحِجَارَةَ . وَكَانَ لَا يَنْقُلُهَا دُونَ سِتَّةِ نَفَرٍ فِي يَوْمٍ ، فَخَلَّى الرَّجُلُ لِبَعْضِ حَاجَتِهِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ وَقَدْ نَقَلَ الْحِجَارَةَ فِي سَاعَةٍ ، قَالَ : أَحْسَنْتَ وَأَجْمَلْتَ وَأَطَقْتَ مَا لَمْ أَرَكَ تُطِيقُهُ . قَالَ : ثُمَّ عَرَضَ لِلرَّجُلِ سَفَرٌ فَقَالَ : إِنِّي أَحْسَبُكَ أَمِينًا ، فَاخْلُفْنِي فِي أَهْلِي خِلَافَةً حَسَنَةً . قَالَ : وَأَوْصِنِي بِعَمَلٍ . قَالَ : إِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَيْكَ . قَالَ : لَيْسَ يَشُقُّ عَلَيَّ . قَالَ : فَاضْرِبْ مِنَ اللَّبِنِ لِبَيْتِي حَتَّى أَقَدُمَ عَلَيْكَ . قَالَ : فَمَرَّ الرَّجُلُ لِسَفَرِهِ . قَالَ : فَرَجَعَ الرَّجُلُ وَقَدْ تَشَيَّدَ بِنَاؤُهُ ، فَقَالَ : أَسْأَلُكَ بِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ ، مَا سَبِيلُكَ وَمَا أَمْرُكَ ؟ قَالَ : سَأَلْتَنِي بِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ ، وَوَجْهُ اللَّهِ أَوْقَعَنِي فِي الْعُبُودِيَّةِ . فَقَالَ الْخَضِرُ : سَأُخْبِرُكَ مَنْ أَنَا ، أَنَا الْخَضِرُ الَّذِي سَمِعْتَ بِهِ ، سَأَلَنِي رَجُلٌ مِسْكِينٌ صَدَقَةً فَلَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدِي شَيْءٌ أُعْطِيهِ ، فَسَأَلَنِي بِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ فَأَمْكَنْتُهُ مِنْ رَقَبَتِي فَبَاعَنِي ، وَأُخْبِرُكَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ سُئِلَ بِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ فَرَّدَ سَائِلَهُ وَهُوَ يَقْدِرُ ، وَقَفَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ جِلْدٌ وَلَا لَحْمَ لَهُ ، عَظْمٌ يَتَقَعْقَعُ . فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ : آمَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ ، شَقَقْتُ عَلَيْكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ وَلَمْ أَعْلَمْ . قَالَ : لَا بَأْسَ ، أَحْسَنْتَ وَاتَّقَيْتَ . فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ : بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ، احْكُمْ فِي أَهْلِي وَمَالِي بِمَا شِئْتَ ، أَوِ اخْتَرْ ، فَأُخَلِّي سَبِيلَكَ . قَالَ : أُحِبُّ أَنْ تُخَلِّيَ سَبِيلِي فَأَعْبُدُ رَبِّي . فَخَلَّى سَبِيلَهُ . فَقَالَ الْخَضِرُ : الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَوْثَقَنِي فِي الْعُبُودِيَّةِ ثُمَّ نَجَّانِي مِنْهَا " . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ وَرِجَالُهُ مُوَثَّقُونَ ، إِلَّا أَنَّ بَقِيَّةَ مُدَلِّسٌ . وَيَأْتِي حَدِيثٌ آخَرُ فِي وَفَاةِ سَيِّدِنَا رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْخَضِرِ .
Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) states that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Shall I not tell you about Sayyiduna Khidr (peace be upon him)?" The people said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Once he was walking in the market of the Children of Israel when a mukatab slave saw him and said: 'Give me something in charity, may Allah Almighty bless you.' Sayyiduna Khidr (peace be upon him) said: 'I believe in Allah Almighty; whatever Allah Almighty wills to happen, happens. I have nothing to give you.' The poor man said: 'I ask you by Allah to give me something, for I see signs of generosity in your face, and I hope for blessing from you.' Sayyiduna Khidr (peace be upon him) said: 'I believe in Allah Almighty. I have nothing that I could give you, except that you take me and sell me.' The poor man said: 'Would that be right?' Sayyiduna Khidr (peace be upon him) said: 'Yes, I am telling you the truth. You have asked me by something tremendous, and I will not disappoint you when you ask by the Countenance of my Lord. Sell me.' The man put him up in the market and sold him for four hundred dirhams. He stayed with the buyer for a long time without the buyer making use of him in any task. Sayyiduna Khidr (peace be upon him) said to the buyer: 'You bought me in order to obtain the good that is with me, so instruct me to do some work.' The man said: 'I do not like to burden you; you are an old, weak, aged man.' Sayyiduna Khidr (peace be upon him) said: 'It will not trouble me.' He said: 'Very well, then get up and move these stones.' The stones were such that fewer than six people could not move them in a day. The man left to attend to some business, and when he returned, Sayyiduna Khidr (peace be upon him) had moved the stones within an hour. He said: 'You have done very well and excellently, and you have such strength that I did not think you had.' Then the man had occasion to go on a journey, and he said: 'I consider you a trustworthy man; take good care of my family in my absence.' Sayyiduna Khidr (peace be upon him) said: 'Give me some work to do as well.' He said: 'I do not like to burden you.' Sayyiduna Khidr (peace be upon him) said: 'It will not be a burden for me.' He said: 'Very well, until I come back home, make bricks for my house.' Then the man set off on his journey. When the man returned, Sayyiduna Khidr (peace be upon him) had even completed the building. He said: 'I ask you by Allah: what is your affair, and what is your situation?' Sayyiduna Khidr (peace be upon him) said: 'You have asked me by Allah, and it was asking by Allah that put me into this slavery.' Then Sayyiduna Khidr (peace be upon him) said: 'I will tell you who I am. I am Khidr, of whom you have heard. A poor man asked me for charity and I had nothing to give him; he asked me by the Countenance of Allah, so I handed myself over to him and he sold me. And I tell you that whoever is asked in the name of Allah and turns the asker away while he is able to give, on the Day of Resurrection he will stand in such a state that he will have skin but no flesh on it, and his bones will be rattling.' The man said: 'I believe in Allah Almighty. O Prophet of Allah, I put you to hardship without knowing.' Sayyiduna Khidr (peace be upon him) said: 'There is no harm; you did well and you were careful.' The man said: 'May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Prophet of Allah! Command whatever you wish regarding my family and my wealth, or choose, and I will set you free.' Sayyiduna Khidr (peace be upon him) said: 'I would like you to set me free so that I may keep worshipping my Lord.' So the man set him free. Sayyiduna Khidr (peace be upon him) said: 'All praise belongs to Allah, who bound me in slavery and then freed me from it.'"
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators have been declared trustworthy, except that the narrator Baqiyyah is a mudallis. Another narration about Sayyiduna Khidr (peace be upon him) will also come at the end of the chapter on the death of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
