دیدار موسی و خضر(ع)

نام عالِمی که موسی(ع) با او دیدار کرد و در این آیه به زیبایی از او یاد شده است» در قرآن کریم نیامده است؛ اما در روایات آمده که او «خضر»(ع) و از پیامبران معاصر حضرت موسی بوده است. در برخی از روایات وارد شده که خداوند عمر زیادی به او بخشید و او زنده است و از دنیا نرفته است.

خضر(ع)؛ پذیرای علم الهی

در این که منظور از «رحمة من عندنا» در این آیه چیست. مفسران تفسیرهای گوناگونی بیان کرده‌اند: بعضی» آن را به مقام نبوت و برخی به عمر طولانی تفسیر کرده‌اند؛ ولی این احتمال نیز وجود دارد که منظورء استعداد شایان و روح وسیع و شرح صدری باشد که خدا به آن مرد بزرگ داده بود تا پذیرای علم الهی گردد. تعبیر به «من لدنا» نیز نشان می‌دهد که علم حضرت خضر(ع)» یک علم عادی نبوده؛ بلکه آگاهی از قسمتی از اسرار جهان و رموز حوادئی که تنها خدا می‌دانده بوده است. تبیر به «علماً» - که نکره است و در این‌گونه موارد معمولاً برای تعظیم می‌آید -نشان می‌دهد که خضرء بهرة بسیاری از این علم الهی داشته است.
