Arabic hadith text
وَعَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ الْغُلَامَ الَّذِي قَتَلَهُ الْخَضِرُ طُبِعَ كَافِرًا وَلَوْ عَاشَ لَأَرْهَقَ أَبَوَيْهِ طُغْيَانًا وَكُفْرًا» . مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ
Translation
Ubayy ibn Ka‘b reported that the Messenger of Allah said: ‘The boy whom al-Khidr killed had been marked as an unbeliever; had he lived, he would have driven his parents into tyranny and unbelief.’ Agreed upon.
