That figure named for this adjective repairs poor hospitality by fixing a wall with treasure buried under it and goes on a journey to “where the two seas meet” with a prophet. That figure named for this adjective in the Surah of the Cave, (15[1])who is often identified with (*) Saint George or Elijah, damages a boat and kills a child, confusing his companion Musa until all is explained. Al-Khizr’s (“ahl KIZZ-er’s”) name translates to English as this adjective. A dome named for this color that is part (10[1])of the Prophet’s Mosque (10[1])in Medina tops (10[1])the tomb (10[2])of Muhammad.
