Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:
al-shaarah,
al-shawrah:
the best condition,
adornment and beautification.
The best clothing.

Benefits and Issues:
The Jews, in following Musa (alayhis salam), also used to fast on the day of Ashura.
And in view of its greatness and respect,
they would declare it a day of celebration and festival, wearing their best clothes and adorning themselves.
Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (radi Allahu anhu), since he arrived at the time of the conquest of Khaybar in 7 AH,
therefore, he only described the conditions of the people of Khaybar.

Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊ The meaning of "he was created as a disbeliever" is precisely that, by utilizing the free will entrusted to him by Allah, he was destined to commit disbelief, and this was already known to Allah.

➋ The fascinating story of Khidr and Musa (alayhis salam) is found in Surah Al-Kahf, and its details are present in the two Sahihs.
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Tafsir, Hadith: 4725; Sahih Muslim, Fada'il, Hadith: 2380)

➌ Khidr (alayhis salam) was endowed with special knowledge from Allah and was assigned certain tasks, therefore no analogy can be made regarding him.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ He was created in accordance with what was in Allah’s knowledge for him—that he would commit disbelief.

➋ Every Muslim should remain concerned about his own final outcome, and should always seek refuge from a bad end and supplicate for goodness and felicity in the end: (اللَّهُمَّ أَحْسِنْ عَاقِبَتَنَا فِي الْأُمُورِ كُلِّهَا وَأَجِرْنَا مِنْ خِزْيِ الدُّنْيَا وَعَذَابِ الْآخِرَةِ) “O Allah! Make our outcome the best in all matters, and save us from the disgrace of this world and the punishment of the Hereafter.”
