Original sentence: According to the commentators and transmitters of this narration the person who will challenge the AntiChrist and humiliate him will be al-Khiḍr.In a divinely instituted heirarchy of such saints, al-Khiḍr holds the rank of their spiritual head.In another narration al-Khiḍr met with Ali by the Kaabah and instructed him about a supplication that is very meritious when recited after the obligatory prayers.In the writings of Abd al-Karim al-Jili, al-Khiḍr rules over ‘the Men of the Unseen' (rijalu’l-ghayb) - the exalted saints and angels.It is also possible that the story derives from an Irish myth which predates the Crusades in which Cuchulainn and two other heroes compete for the champion's portion at feasts; ultimately, Cuchulainn is the only one willing to let a giant — actually a king who has magically disguised himself — cut off his head, as per their agreement
