THE LIFE OF HAZRAT KHIDR ( ALAIHISSALAM )
There are differences (Ikhtilaaf) amongst the scholars regarding whether Khidr (Alay hissalaam) is still alive, or has died. There also exists Ikhtilaaf regarding whether Khidr (Alay hissalaam) was a Prophet or a saint. Many scholars are of the opinion that he is still alive, while others, such as Hafidhh Ibn Taymiyyah and his followers is of the opinion that he has died.
Evidence suggesting that Khidr alaihi salaam is alive
In Sahih Muslim we find the following narration:
Dajjaal will kill a person once and then bring him back to life, then he will ask him, Do you believe that I am God? That person will reply, No! I am convinced that you are the Dajjaal of which the Prophet (May Allah bless him and grant him peace) informed us. Dajjaal will throw him in his fire, which in reality will be Paradise.The narrator of this Hadith is Abu Is-haaq who says: It is commonly known that this person would be Khidr (Alay hissalaam).
(Sahih Muslim, Chapter on Dajjaal)
Abu Is-haaq was amongst the Tabatabieen and it was common knowledge during that period that Khidr (Alay hissalaam) was alive and his death will occur at the time of Dajjaal.
Some people raise a question by saying:
In Bukhari there is a Hadith where the Prophet (May Allah bless him and grant him peace) states, Of all the people who are alive upon the earth on this day, none will be living in a hundred years time.
Secondly he said that: The Prophet (May Allah bless him and grant him peace) supplicated (dua) upon the occasion of the battle of Badr. There are three hundred and thirteen people with me. If we do not triumph then no one will be left to worship you Oh Allah. Following this evidence, Hafidhh Ibn Taymiyyah and his follwers conclude that if Khidr (Alay hissalaam) was alive then he should have joined the army and made the number amount to three hundred and fourteen.
Answers to the objections
(1) The Prophet (May Allah bless him and grant him peace) stated: Of those alive on the earth, none will be alive in a hundred years time. It is possible that Khidr (Alay hissalaam) at that particular moment was present in a location other than this world (dunya). Just as Isa (Alay hissalaam) was also alive at that time. If Isa (Alay hissalaam) never came down to help the Prophet Muhammad (May Allah bless him and grant him peace) in the battle of Badr then this did not break his promise that he made with Allah most High, in the spiritual world. In the same manner, there is nothing inappropriate regarding the fact that Khidr (Alay hissalaam) never joined the army for the battle. Having said that there is no confirmation that he did or did not join the Muslim army in the Battle of Badrsince he is an unseen person. It may also be possible that he joined, but our Prophet (May Allah bless him and grant him peace) never mentioned his name like the thousands of angels who fought in this great battle but the Prophet (May Allah bless him and grant him peace) never mentioned all their names. So this means that Hafidhh Ibn Taymiyyahs suspicions are insufficient to support the opinion that Khidr (Alay hissalaam) has died. There is not even a single weak Hadith to support this opinion let alone an authentic one.
(2) At the time of the Battle of Badr the population of the Muslim Ummah was not just three hundred and thirteen, In fact there were Muslims present in Madinah Munawarah who did not fight in the battle.
The explanation of the dua is. There will be none to worship you with victory. For no doubt the Muslims in Madinah, Abysinnia and Makkah would have continued to worship Allah.
From the aforementioned, according to Hafidhh Ibn Kathir, Khidr (Alay hissalaam) was alive from the time of Adam (Alay hissalaam) up until the time of Musa (Alay hissalaam). It seems rather unusual that Ibn Kathir rejected the understanding that Khidr (Alay hissalaam) could not live after the time of Musa (Alay hisalaam)
Comments
To conclude this chapter, it is clear that Ibn Taymiyyah and those who adhere to his principles do not believe that Khidr (Alay hissalaam) is alive.
It is very disturbing to see that on one side many narrations exist which prove the validity of Khidr (Alay hissalaam) being alive but on the other side there are the suspicions of Ibn Taymiyyah and those who blindly follow him. Such as, Hafidhh Ibn Kathir, who after having written the above narrations was convinced by Hafidhh ibn Taymiyyahs understanding, still continue to create doubts in the minds of Muslims.
It must be understood that the belief that Khidr (Alay hissalaam) is still alive is not a matter of aqeedah and has no relation to Imaan and kufr.
We ask Allah O Allah whatever we have said, if it is true accept it but if it is false we ask you to forgive us. Amin!

В Узбекистан с удовольствием поедут те, кто уже побывал в Италиях и Испаниях и хочет чего-то экзотического, но поблизости, безвизово и недорого. На мой взгляд, наиболее комфортно путешествовать по этой стране весной. Я, кстати, еду поесть. Попробую плов. Самаркандский, бухарский, хивинский, ташкенский. И — самсу! Очень я самсу с бараниной люблю!
Итак, в планах — посещение четырех городов. Каждый из них хоть раз был столицей, кстати. Каждый по-своему интересен, красив и необычен.
Вообще, логично маршрут выстраивать таким образом — Ташкент-Самарканд-Бухара-Хива. Чтобы степень экзотичности, востока изменялась плавно по-нарастающей. Ташкент выглядит очень современно, центр города — это здания из стекла и металла. А Хива — сама древность!
Однако в силу множества обстоятельств, моя поездка сложилась иначе. Я взял билет до Ташкента, оттуда направлюсь в Бухару, затем — Самарканд, ну и на сладкое — Хива.
Бухара - это как бы три города. Новый, старый и древний. Новый туристу, приехавшему за восточной экзотикой, будет малоинтересен: современные дома, дороги, магазины — всё как везде.
В минуте ходьбы от гостиницы – сердце старой Бухары. Ляби Хауз. Это и площадь (когда-то торговая), и ансамбль (архитектурный), и водоём. Слово Хауз многих вводит в заблуждение. Никакого отношения к английскому языку оно не имеет. Хауз — это не здание! Слово персидское, означало водоём. По сути – бассейн, но не для плавания. Там хранили питьевую воду. Для жаркого климата — настоящий источник жизни, вокруг которого она и кипела.
Наконец-то я попробую настоящий бухарский плов!
Для пиршества было выбрано кафе Чинара. с абсолютной ответственностью заявляю — плов здесь - волшебный!
Арк – аналог нашего Кремля. Сооружение создавалось для защиты от набегов. Высокие и толстые стены спасали эмиров, министров, придворных, обслуживающий персонал… До трёх тысяч человек. Крепость не смогла защитить бухарцев лишь дважды - при нашествии Чингисхана и при наступлении большевиков. Тогда красный командир Фрунзе приказал бомбить Арк с аэропланов.
Если вы бывали в Самарканде, то знаете, что его визитной карточкой является Регистан. Но такие площади есть и в других городах. В том числе в Бухаре.
На ней стоит высоченный минарет Калян. Применение – разнообразное. С него и призывали к молитве,и сталкивали преступников, и использовали как маяк. Караваны в ночи могли ориентироваться на его свет.
Следующий пункт путешествия – город мёртвых. Официальное название — Чор Бакр. Четыре бакра. Приставку «бакр» к своему имени брали теологи. Некрополь появился в 10-ом веке, когда тут захоронили четырёх священнослужителей. Потом это стало традицией.
Место священное, сюда часто приезжают паломники.
