٣١٥١ - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّمَا سُمِّيَ الْخَضِرَ»؛ لِأَنَّهُ جَلَسَ عَلَى فَرْوَةٍ بَيْضَاءَ، فَاهْتَزَّتْ تَحْتَهُ خَضِرًا. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ.

Commentary
"The meaning of Farwah here is a patch of withered vegetation which is dry stalks. This is the view of 'Abdur-Razzāq. Others say that it means the face of the earth." Ibn Kathīr, the Tafsīr of Al-Kahf 18:82. They also say it is barren earth. See Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi.
