Hazrat Ghawth A'zamRadi Allahu anhu meeting with Khidr alayhis 'salam

Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu


Sayyiduna al-Ghawth al-A¡¦zam Shaikh Abd al-Qaadir al-Jilani ( Radi Allahu anhu) states that when he had just commenced his spiritual exercises in the jungles of Baghdad, he met a person who was very handsome, had a pious and bright face. The person asked him if he would like to stay with him. Shaikh Abd al-Qaadir al-Jilani ( Radi Allahu anhu) said that he would. The person then said that this could only be done if Shaikh Abd al-Qaadir al-Jilani ( Radi Allahu anhu) promises to be obedient to his commands, and to never question his sayings or actions.

Shaikh Abd al-Qaadir al-Jilani ( Radi Allahu anhu) immediately agreed to this. This person then commanded al-Ghawth al-A¡¦zam ( Radi Allahu anhu)to sit at a prescribed spot and not to move until he returned. The person left and only returned after one year to find Shaikh Abd al-Qaadir al-Jilani ( Radi Allahu anhu) still seated at the prescribed spot. He spent a few moments with al-Ghawth al-A¡¦zam ( Radi Allahu anhu) and then asked him to sit there and wait for him to return once more. This person left and returned after another year. He once again spent some time with the great Saint and then left again giving him the same command as he had done twice before. He returned after another year, this time bringing with him milk and roti (bread). He then said, ¡§I am Hadrat Khidr ( alayhis 'salam) and I have been asked to share this meal with you.¡¨ They sat together and ate this blessed meal. Hadrat Khidr ( alayhis 'salam)then asked, ¡§O Abd al-Qaadir! What did you eat for the three years while sitting in one spot?¡¨
He replied, ¡§Whatever the people had thrown away
