Assalamu Alaykum,

Yes Nabi al-Khidr (alayhi assalam) is very much alive and many Awliya through out the past have met with him.

I have a question about the article posted above. It says that Imam Nawawi (rahmat'Allahi alayh) denied him being alive. I have a quote saying that Imam Sakhawi said, “It is well-known that al-Nawawi used to meet with al-Khadr and converse with him among many other unveilings (mukashafat).”

The source given is Tarjima Shaykh al-Islam Qutb al-Awliya al-Kiram wa Faqih al-Anam Muhyi al-Sunnah wa Mumit al-Bidah Abi Zakariyah Muhyiuddin al-Nawawi.

Is this Hafeth al-Sakhawis (rahmat'Allahi alayh) book?

wassalam
