  • Tafseer-e-Naeemi (Ahmad Yaar Khan)
  • Ibn Kathir
  • Ala-Madudi
  • Shaheen International

151.This refers to Hazrat Khizr (On whom be peace) whose actual name is Balyaan ibn Malkan ibn Falikh ibn Amir ibn Shalikh ibn Araf Khashad ibn Saam ibn Nuh (On whom be peace). His appellation is Abul Abbas and his title is Shareef Khazir, having Zabar on the letter Kha and the Zer on letter Dwad. He is among those four Prophets who would be alive until the Day of Judgement two upon the earth i.e. Hazrat Khizr and Hazrat Ilyas (On whom be peace), and in the heaven Hazrat Idris and Hazrat Isa (On whom be peace) (Tafseer Roohul Mu'ani). The reason for calling him Khizr is, if he were to sit on a dry ground.greenery would begin to grow there. In addition, there are other traditions mentioned about him as well.

152.This means without being tutored by anyone they are born Aalims and most Prophets possess inspired knowledge (Ilm e Laduni); Hazrat Adam (On whom be peace) too, was provided with this knowledge.

Please refer to Surah Kahf ayat 60 which provides the complete commentary from verse 60 through 65.

(18:65) and there they found one of Our servants upon whom We had bestowed Our mercy, and to whom We had imparted a special knowledge from Ourselves.[59]

Ala-Maududi

(18:65) and there they found one of Our servants upon whom We had bestowed Our mercy, and to whom We had imparted a special knowledge from Ourselves.[59]


59. The name of this servant has been stated to be Khidr in all the authentic books of traditions. Thus there is no reason why it should be considered at all that his name was Elijah, as some people have asserted under the influence of the Israelite traditions. Their assertion is incorrect not only because it contradicts the assertion of the Prophet (peace be upon him) but it is also absurd because Prophet Elijah (peace be upon him) was born several hundred years after Prophet Moses (peace be upon him). Though the Quran does not mention the name of the attendant of Prophet Moses (peace be upon him), according to some traditions he was Joshua, the son of Nun, who succeeded him.

(65) And they found a servant from among Our servants [i.e., al-Khiḍr] to whom We had given mercy from Us and had taught him from Us a [certain] knowledge.
