Let us continue with selections from the Hadith, which expounds on the encounter between Moses (vegetarian) and the Venerated Messenger of God and teacher of Prophets, Al-Khidr (Peace Be Upon Him) (vegetarian). The events are explained as Divine wisdom, showing human understanding is limited and emphasizing patience and reliance on Allah. Sahih al-Bukhari Prophets The story of Al-Khidr with Musa (Moses) “Narrated Sa`id bin Jubair: Moses and His (servant) boy, Yusha` bin Noon, travelled the rest of the night, and the next day. […] [Then] His boy (servant) said to Him, ‘Do You know that when we were sitting near that rock, I forgot the fish, and none but satan caused me to forget to tell (You) about it, and it took its course into the sea in an amazing way?’ So there was a path for the fish, and that astonished them. Moses said, ‘That was what we were seeking after.’ So, both of them retraced their footsteps till they reached the rock. There, they saw a man lying covered with a garment. Moses greeted Him and He replied saying, ‘How do people greet each other in your land?’ Moses said, ‘I am Moses.’ The man asked, ‘Moses of Bani Israel?’ Moses said, ‘Yes, I have come to You so that You may teach me from those things which Allah has taught You.’ He said, ‘O Moses! I have some of the Knowledge of Allah which Allah has taught me, and which You do not know, while You have some of the Knowledge of Allah which Allah has taught You and which I do not know.’ Moses asked, ‘May I follow You?’ He said, ‘But You will not be able to remain patient with me for how can You be patient about things which You will not be able to understand?’ (Moses said, ‘You will find me, if Allah so will, truly patient, and I will not disobey You in anything at all.’) […]The Prophet added, ‘We wished that Moses could have remained patient by virtue of which Allah might have told us more about Their story.’ (Sufyan the sub-narrator said that the Prophet said, ‘May Allah bestow His Mercy on Moses! If He had remained patient, we would have been told further about Their case.’) Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, ‘Al-Khidr was named so because He sat over a barren white land, it turned green with plantation after (His sitting over it.)’”
