Answer
Khidhr was a saintly person at the time of Musa (Álayhis salaam). Allah Ta' ala refers to their meeting in Surah Kahf. Ilyaas (Álayhis salaam) was a Prophet of Allah. According to the Muhadditheen, Khidhr (Álayhis salaam) as well as Ilyaas (Álayhis salaam) passed away. According to the Sufis, both are still alive.
