..The story of the righteous servant with Moses prophet of Allah

In the name of Allah the All Merciful, the Most Merciful
..And peace be upon the messengers, and praise be to Allah Lord of the worlds

Why Allah said to you: {Then they found a servant of Our servants..} [Al-Kahf] 18:65, and did not say they found a servant of Allah's prophets; in fact a servant of Allah's righteous servants and not famous? Allah's prophet Moses did not ask about his name abidance by Allah's command, because the servant does not desire that the people know to about him so they call on him besides Allah, so he requested from his Lord not to make him know because when they know that he is more knowledgeable than Allah's spokesman Moses -prayer of forgiveness and peace be upon him- so definitely they will exalt him and call on him besides Allah so they beg-pleading by him to Allah, but the righteous man requested from his Lord to not make him known to His servants so he would not be a cause of sedition to the wrongdoing people who exalt the honored servants of Allah.
{ فَوَجَدَا عَبْدًا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا } [الكهف:65]

For that Allah prohibited His prophet Moses to ask him about his name neither about his town nor from which of the countries (came from). And he said: Then my Lord how I find him? So Allah said to him to take with him a Hoot and it is the fish and the fish is something know, if you bring out of water it dies after short time; a few minutes.
And Allah taught him that the place where He will send in it the fish (to life), surely in that same place he waits for the righteous man with a decree made absolute from Allah.

For that you find Moses did not call on the man by his name because he does not know who he is, nor what is his name, in fact he knew that it is him, and that’s because he found him in the place where Allah sent the fish (to life) therein, and knew that it is him.
Allah's prophet Moses said to him: Peace be upon you. Then the man replied to him the peace (salutation) and did not say and peace be upon you O Moses son of Emran as they say (lies) against Allah whom they do not know, where is Moses from Emran? While there is hundreds of years between Moses and the family of Emran, and Moses is from the offspring of Joseph prophet of Allah. But their thinking when they found in the Book Aaron (Haroon) son of Emran brother of Mary and for that they said that Aaron is Moses' brother so as that Moses is son of Emran! No strength except with Allah the Exalted-High, the Great above the forgers against Allah Lord of the worlds, that:
اقتباس المشاركة :
The righteous man said: And Allah’s peace be upon you O Moses son of Emran, Moses said: Who taught you my name? He said: He Who pointed out my place to you.
انتهى الاقتباس

The question that arises: Did Allah point out to Moses the place of the man? In fact Allah taught Moses to take with him a fish and where Allah sends it (to life) he finds (the righteous man), so he should wait for the man in that place, and since Allah sent the fish while they are sleeping so Allah's prophet Moses -prayer of forgiveness and peace be upon him- did not know that Allah sent the fish (to life) and for that he did not wait in the place; in fact they traveled a far traveling till noon: {..he said to his servant: Bring to us our lunch, certainly we have found fatigue in this journey of ours.} [Al-Kahf] 18:62
{ قَالَ لِفَتَاهُ آتِنَا غَدَاءَنَا لَقَدْ لَقِينَا مِنْ سَفَرِنَا هَذَا نَصَبًا } [الكهف:62].


Consequently, Allah did not point out to Moses prophet of Allah — the place of the righteous man, it is then they would have found him when they came to the rock in the first time; in fact they slept at the rock while he was not present, and only the man will come by decree from Allah.

The important is that Moses did not know who that man is until Allah's prophet Moses died -prayer of forgiveness and peace be upon him- while he does not know who is that man, and that from Lord of the world to meet the request of that righteous man who does not desire from his Lord to make him known to the people ever until he meets Him because he fear to be sedition for the wrongdoing people whom as soon as they know of servant — Allah has made him of the honorees — but they set him as partner with Allah and exaggerated in him (without right) unjustly and they worshiped him in order to bring them closer to Allah, and for that Allah did not publicize him at the request of his servant, therefore He said: {Then they found a servant of Our servants whom We had granted mercy from Us and whom We had taught knowledge from Ourselves.}Truthful Allah the Great [Al-Kahf] 18:65. But you made his name Al-Khader and made him a prophet of Allah's prophets while you forgot the word of Allah the Most High: {..Do you have authority for this. Or do you say against Allah what you do not know?(68) Say: Those who forge a lie against Allah will not succeed.(69)}Truthful Allah the Great [Younus] 10:68-69
{ فَوَجَدَا عَبْدًا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا آتَيْنَاهُ رَحْمَةً مِنْ عِنْدِنَا وَعَلَّمْنَاهُ مِنْ لَدُنَّا عِلْمًا } صدق الله العظيم [الكهف:65]
{ إِنْ عِندَكُم مِّن سلطان بِهَـٰذَا أَتَقُولُونَ عَلَى اللَّـهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٦٨﴾ قُلْ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَفْتَرُ‌ونَ عَلَى اللَّـهِ الْكَذِبَ لَا يُفْلِحُونَ ﴿٦٩﴾ } صدق الله العظيم [يونس]


But I bear witness for Allah a certain True testimony — as my Lord said — that he is not from Allah's sent messengers in fact a servant of Allah's righteous servants. and the wisdom from this that the people may get out of the cycle of association with Allah from exalting the prophets and excluding the knowledge for them without the righteous ones. And Allah desires to destroy this false belief, so He sent the spokesman of Allah -Moses -prayer of forgiveness and peace be upon him- to learn the knowledge from a servant of Allah's righteous servants, who is more knowledgeable than Allah's spokesman Moses -prayer of forgiveness and peace be upon him, but most of the believers refuse but to be polytheists!

O community of Muslims, what is wrong with you that you do not comprehend the call of the prophets and messengers so you exaggerate in them unjustly? Indeed by Allah Who I do not worship except Him and no God other than Him, indeed you can never get out of the cycle of polytheism until you believe in the Truth that you have the right in Allah what for His prophets and His messengers, and they are not but servants for Allah like yourselves, to Allah there is no difference between you and them in a thing, verily they are servants for Allah as you are servants for Allah.

Indeed, by Allah Who — no God other than Him — Allah did not make the companion of the (highest) degree (to be) an unknown servant except to complete the competition from all servants of Allah whoever of them is closest to the worshiped Lord. So why do you constrict the competition to the Lord exclusively for the prophets and messengers without the righteous (people), don’t you guard against evil?
