Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
The Story of Musa and Al-KhidrThe reason for Musa's conversation with the boy-servant, Yusha` bin Nun, was that he had been told about one of the servants of Allah at the junction of the two seas, who had knowledge which Musa had not been granted, so he wanted to travel to meet him.
