Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
Interpretation of why the Boy was killedIbn `Abbas narrated from Ubayy bin Ka`b that the Prophet said:«الْغُلَامُ الَّذِي قَتَلَهُ الْخَضِرُ طُبِعَ يَوْمَ طُبِعَ كَافِرًا»(The boy Al-Khidr killed was destined to be a disbeliever from the day he was created.) It was recorded by Ibn Jarir from Ibn `Abbas.
