حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ابْنُ الْأَصْبِهَانِيِّ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَکِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّمَا سُمِّيَ الْخَضِرَ أَنَّهُ جَلَسَ عَلَی فَرْوَةٍ بَيْضَائَ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَهْتَزُّ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ خَضْرَائَ
