The basis of this story as reported by the Holy Prophet, - Allah venerate him and
gave peace - in a Prophetic authentic saying is that Moses, peace be upon him,
delivered a sermon to the Children of Israel which made their eyes tearful and
their hearts softened. When he was asked, “Do you know someone more
knowledgeable than yourself?” He replied, “No.” So Allah revealed to him that
His worshipper Al-Khadir was more knowledgeable than him.
Moses said, “Oh my Lord lead me to the way to meet him.” Allah then revealed
to him that he should carry “hout”, a kind of fish, in a nap sack and walk by the
shore until the meeting of the two seas. If he lost the fish, he would find there Al
Khadir. So Moses walked with his servant until two seas met.
It has been said that the two seas meet in the sea of Andalus, in Spain. Also a
weak opinion has been reported that it is the meeting of the Persian sea and the
Romanian sea to the east. If so, he walked a long way! The word used in the
Koran is “huqubah” which can either be one year, 80 years, or an unlimited time.
