Ibrahim Adham narrates that: \u201cI was traveling in the desert with a caravan. I decided to make a short expedition alone, and I separated from the caravan. Then I suddenly came across a kid that was walking. I said Subhan Allah! In a dry desert like this, a kid walking there?! Then I approached him and greeted, and the kid replied me.<\/p>

I asked: \u201cWhere are you going?\u201d<\/p>

He said: \u201cTo the house of the Creator.\u201d<\/p>

I told him: \u201cDear kid, you are too young; going to the house of the Creator is neither obligatory or is part of the tradition (Sunnah) for you.<\/p>

He said: \u201cO, old man. Haven’t you ever seen one being smaller than me and die?\u201d<\/p>

I asked: \u201cWhere are your supply and your horse?\u201d<\/p>

He answered: \u201cMy supply is piety, my horse is my feet and my destination is my Lord.\u201d<\/p>

I said: \u201cI don\u2019t see any food with you.\u201d<\/p>

He said: \u201cO, old man, is it suitable if someone invites you and you take your meal with yourself?\u201d<\/p>

I said: \u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>

He said: \u201cThe one who has called me will make me fulfilled.\u201d<\/p>

I said: \u201cCome and get a ride to not to miss the Hajj.\u201d<\/p>

He said: \u201cMy duty is to make my try, and reaching to the destination is in His hands. Haven\u2019t you heard\u00a0\u00a0And those who strive for Us, We will certainly guide them to our Paths, for verily Allah is with the righteous.<\/em><\/strong>“[1]<\/strong><\/a><\/em><\/p>

He says while I was wondering suddenly a fair faced youth appeared with a fine white garment, and embraced the kid and hailed to him. I went toward the youth and asked: \u201cBy the God who has created you so beautiful, tell me who is this kid?\u201d He answered: \u201cDon\u2019t you know him? He is Ali bin Husssain bin Ali bin Abi Talib\u00a0(PBUT).\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Then I left the youth to the kid and asked: \u201cI swear to your fathers, that who is this youth?\u201d<\/p>

He said: \u201cDon\u2019t you know him? He is my brother Khidr[2]<\/a> who visits us and hails us.\u201d<\/p>

I asked: \u201cBy the right of your fathers, don\u2019t you tell me that how you travel in this desert without supply and ration?<\/p>

He answered: \u201cI travel with 4 supplies.<\/p>

I said: \u201cWhat are they?\u201d<\/p>

He said: \u201cI regard this entire vast world the\u00a0realm of the Lord<\/strong>\u00a0and regard all the creatures his servants and their sustenance are\u00a0with Him<\/strong>; I understand that each cause and sustenance is in His hands, and see his will\u00a0performed<\/strong>\u00a0all over the earth.[3]<\/a><\/p>

I admitted: \u201cO, Zain al-Aabedin, What a fine supply you have. With this supply you can pass from the pathways of the afterworld; and evidently you can pass the worldly ones too![4]<\/a><\/p>

He visits us and hails to us. Allah has ordered him to take away the loneliness of our Qaem (Imam Mahdi\u00a0(PBUH))\u00a0and turn his loneliness into company. (Kamal al-Din, vol. 2, p. 390)<\/p>
