Surah Al Kahf - Ayah No 78

Assalam o Alaikum  Shab-e-Juma Mubarak. Al Kahf Time.
It's special mercy of Allah swt that my wish is granted and today's blog entry is being written in Mata'af (مطعف) in front of Kaaba Sharif. Allah Karim.
So Today's Ayah No 78 is reply of Khizar AS to reaction of Musa AS from previous Ayah. Both greats had come across inhospitable people. Notwithstanding their unfriendly behaviour, Khizar AS began to repair a damaged wall in their town. Musa AS known for his sincere spontaneity suggested that he (Khizar AS) could have asked for some wager. The idea was right but it was in contravention with the agreement of journey that Musa AS wouldn't speak unless asked. However, as predicted by Khizar AS, Musa AS couldn’t keep patience for consecutive third time. Durring last incident when a young boy was killed by Khizar AS, Musa AS had assured that if he violated the agreement next time, they should part ways. 
So it happened. Without much ado, Khizar AS announced that it was time. He also assured that wisdom behind those three incidents shall be explained before goodbye. 
Going back to the genesis of this story, it alk began with someone asking Musa AS about the most learned man under the sky. Musa AS considering his status and personal rapport with Allah swt  replied it could be him. However, Allah swt through Musa AS had to make us understand that human patience and knowledge is limited because only Allah swt knows the whole Truth. 
Next week we meet again with brand new Ayah, Insha Allah.
