Commentary
He said, meaning Al-Khidr, peace be upon him: "If you follow me, O Musa, with a profound following, then do not ask me about anything I say or do until I make for you a specific mention of it that clarifies for you the correctness of it. For I do not proceed to do anything except that it is correct and permissible in itself, even if its apparent nature is otherwise."
