Through the dreams of his wife, he is being prepared for the role of a master. The old man, white-haired, clad in white, is the archetypal description of Khiḍr, the teacher of Divine Knowledge who comes to those appointed seekers who do not have a flesh-and-blood guide.
— Sara Sviri, Women of Sufism: A Hidden Treasure, on Al-Hakim al-Tirmidhi & his wife Umm Abdallah, (2003)
The Land of Truth
- A true story with guiding advice; relating to each of us in our journey in life.
A certain man believed that the ordinary waking life, as people know it, could not possibly be complete. He sought the real Teacher of the Age. He read many books and joined many circles, and he heard the words and witnessed the deeds of one master after another. He carried out the commands and spiritual exercises which seemed to him to be most attractive.
He became elated with some of his experiences. At other times he was confused; and he had no idea at all of what his stage was, or where and when his search might end.
This man was reviewing his behavior one day when he suddenly found himself near the house of a certain sage of high repute. In the garden of that house, he encountered Khidr (Alayhi Salam), the secret guide who shows the way to Truth.
Khidr (Alayhi Salam) took him to a place where he saw people in great distress and woe, and he asked who they were. “We are those who did not follow real teachings, who were not true to our undertakings, who revered self-appointed teachers,” they said.
Then the man was taken by Khidr (Alayhi Salam) to a place where everyone was attractive and full of joy. He asked who they were. “We are those who did not follow the real Signs of the Way,” they said.
“But if you have ignored the Signs, how can you be happy?” asked the traveler.
“Because we chose happiness instead of Truth,” said the people, “just as those who chose the self-appointed chose also misery.”
“The goal of man is Truth. Truth is more than happiness. The man who has Truth can have whatever mood he wishes, or none,” they told him. “We have pretended that Truth is happiness, and happiness Truth, and people have believed us, therefore you, too, have until now imagined that happiness must be the same as Truth. But happiness makes you its prisoner, as does woe.”
Then the man found himself back in the garden with Khidr (Alayhi Salam) beside him.
“I will grant you one desire,” said Khidr (Alayhi Salam).
“I wish to know why I have failed in my search and how I can succeed in it,” said the man. “You have all but wasted your life,” said Khidr (Alayhi Salam), “because you have been a liar. Your lie has been in seeking personal gratification when you could have been seeking Truth.”
“And yet I came to the point where I found you,” said the man, “and that is something which happens to hardly anyone at all.”
“And you met me,” said Khidr (Alayhi Salam), “because you had sufficient sincerity to desire Truth for its own sake, just for an instant. It was that sincerity, in that single instant, which made me answer your call.”
Now the man felt an overwhelming desire to find Truth, even if he lost himself.
Khidr (Alayhi Salam), however, was starting to walk away, and the man began to run after him.
“You may not follow me,” said Khidr (Alayhi Salam), “because I am returning to the ordinary world, the world of lies, for that is where I have to be, if I am to do my work.”
And when the man looked around him again, he realized that he was no longer in the garden of the sage, but standing in the Land of Truth.
FRUTA CELESTIAL
Érase una vez un hombre que estaba completamente obsesionado con la búsqueda de la Verdad. Estaba tan decidido a encontrarla que empleaba su tiempo entre oraciones para que se le otorgase la verdad, y siguiendo cualquier pista que escuchase acerca de ella.
Pero este hombre estaba tan ansioso por encontrar la verdad que no se molestó en intentar mejorar sus propios modos de pensamiento; y nunca se quedaba el suficiente tiempo con un maestro para aprender todo lo que le podía enseñar: siempre parecía atraerlo alguien más. Un día este hombre caminaba a través de las calles de Estambul cuando vio a un hombre vestido de verde luminiscente entrar a una mezquita. Recordó que se decía que un hombre así podía ser Khidr, y que uno debía asir su ropa y pedir que le concediese un favor.
Entró en la mezquita, encontró a Khidr cerca de una columna, lo agarró de la manga y dijo: “¡Gran Khidr, hombre del más allá, concédeme la visión de la Verdad!”
Khidr lo miró y dijo gentilmente: “Aún no estás listo para la Verdad.”
Pero el hombre insistió, y Khidr dijo: “Ya que has agarrado mi manga, y pues quizá alguien pueda un día beneficiarse de tu historia, te permitiré experimentar la Verdad. Pero tu destino será responsabilidad tuya.
Khidr condujo al buscador a cierta casa. Allí pasaron algún tiempo en contemplación en una sala especial. Luego Khidr llevó al ávido discípulo a encontrarse con una misteriosa figura ataviada como un rey, y juntos viajaron en una misteriosa barca por distancias ilimitadas visitando lugares que uno jamás podría describir, y viendo cosas que en el pasado el hombre tan sólo ha soñado pero que realmente existen en la Realidad de las Realidades.
Un día el hombre dijo al rey: “Siento que me gustaría regresar para visitar a mis allegados, y ver cómo se han comportado los hombres desde que me fui.” El rey dijo: “El santo Khidr, mi emisario, ya te dijo que no estabas preparado para la Verdad. Ahora has llegado al punto en el cual puedes descubrir que no has comprendido que existe lo eterno y lo temporal. Si regresas ahora, descubrirás que aparentemente no queda nada de lo que conocías.”
“¿De qué me hablas?”, preguntó el hombre, “¿pues acaso no fue hace tan sólo unos meses que abandoné mi aldea? ¿No podré ver a mi familia de nuevo? ¿Cómo pueden cambiar las cosas en tan corto espacio de tiempo?
El rey dijo: “Ya lo descubrirás; pero nunca serás capaz de regresar con nosotros; y la Verdad, aunque la has encontrado, no te es de utilidad. Quizás si otros escuchan estos hechos a través tuyo, eso pueda de algún modo ayudarte en el futuro.”
Con estas crípticas observaciones, le dio al discípulo una fruta celestial, diciendo: “Cómela cuando no tengas ningún otro camino abierto para ti.” Y dio instrucciones a uno de sus lugartenientes para que condujese al viajero de regreso a su casa.
Al llegar allí, descubrió que habían transcurrido infinitos años. Su casa era una ruina y casi nadie podía comprender su lenguaje. La gente se congregó a su alrededor y él les contó su historia. Pensaron que era un santo desquiciado o alguien que había descendido del cielo.
Él no pudo resolver el misterio de por qué no había envejecido durante lo que resultaron ser muchos miles de años de ausencia. Y así, perplejo e insatisfecho, comió la fruta celestial. Tan pronto como esta llegó a su estómago, comenzó a envejecer y, ante los ojos de la gente que lo había encontrado, murió de viejo.
Ahora sólo hay algunas personas que recuerdan esta historia, y todas imaginan que no es nada más que una leyenda.

Who is Khidr and what is his rank in spirituality? Sayyidi Younus AlGohar answers in this brief, informative video.
Summary:
- Khidr is neither a prophet nor saint, he is in-between. He is known as 'Naqib-e-Auliya (The Examiner of Saints)' because one of his divinely delegated tasks is to test potential saints.
- Khidr is responsible for taking Predestined Loving Souls onto the spiritual path who have been born into an environment where they wouldn't be able to find the path the orthodox way.
- The Grand Messengers were each given a portion of spiritual knowledge, half of which was for them and the other half was for the saints in their nation. Khidr had spiritual knowledge which was separate from this.
- Khidr's spiritual knowledge helped the Predestined Loving Souls in the Hindu religion (Sanatan Dharma). Krishna, Sant Kabir, Narayan Das, etc received spiritual grace from Khidr. He is known in Hinduism as Vishnu Maharaj.
Moses asked God whether he was the best scholar of his time. God replied that no, some people were greater than him. That is when God sent him to meet Khidr.

You seek the fountain of Khidr Desiring eternal youth, While I have found immortality Upon the arid lips of Hussain.
