Hadith text

Narrated Ubai bin Ka`b:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Moses the Messenger of Allah," and then he narrated the whole story about him. Al-Khadir said to Moses, "Did not I tell you that you can have no patience with me." (18.72). Moses then violated the agreement for the first time because of forgetfulness, then Moses promised that if he asked Al-Khadir about anything, the latter would have the right to desert him. Moses abided by that condition and on the third occasion he intentionally asked Al-Khadir and caused that condition to be applied. The three occasions referred to above are referred to by the following Verses: "Call me not to account for forgetting And be not hard upon me." (18.73) "Then they met a boy and Khadir killed him." (18.74) "Then they proceeded and found a wall which was on the verge of falling and Khadir set it up straight

Ubai bin Ka'b bataate hain: Allah ke Rasool ne kaha: "Musa, Allah ke Rasool," aur phir unki poori kahani sunaee. Al-Khadir ne Musa se kaha: "Kya maine tumse nahi kaha tha ke tum mere saath sabr nahi rakh paoge?" (18:72). Musa ne pehli baar bhoolkar apni shart tori, phir Musa ne waada kiya ke agar unhone Khadir se kuch pucha, to Khadir ko unhe chhodne ka haqq hoga. Musa ne pehli do baar is shart ka paalan kiya, magar teesri baar unhone jaanbujhkar Al-Khadir se sawaal kiya aur woh shart amal mein aa gayi. Yeh teen mouke in ayaat mein bataye gaye hain: "Mujhe iske liye jawabdeh mat karo ke main bhool gaya, aur mujh par sakhti mat karo" (18:73), "Phir woh ek ladke se mile aur Khadir ne use qatl kar diya" (18:74), "Phir woh aage badhe aur ek aisi deewar dekhi jo girne hi wali thi aur Khadir ne use seedha kar diya."
