Tafsir
Khidr 'alaihis-salâm' and Musa 'alaihis-salâm' continued on their way. They reached a village. They asked the people of this village to host them and provide them with some food. However, the people of this village did not accept the requests of Musa and Khidr 'alaihis-salâm' and did not host them. They don't give them anything to eat.
Then they wanted to leave the village, but they came across a wall that was about to collapse. Khidr 'alaihis-salâm' fixed this wall and continued on his way. In the meantime, Hadrat Musa 'alaihis-salâm' said to Khidr 'alaihis-salâm': "If you wanted, you could have demanded a fee for repairing this wall.
What is said in the video
Surah Al-Kahf, verse 77. Again they walked on. At last they came to the people of a village and asked them for food. But the villagers refused to host them. Then they came upon a wall there that was about to collapse. Khidr straightened it at once. Moses said, "If you had wished, you could surely have taken a wage for it." Khidr (peace be upon him) and Moses (peace be upon him) continue on their way. They come to a village. They tell the people of this village to host them and to provide them some food. But the people of this village do not accept the (?) of Moses and Khidr (peace be upon them) and do not host them. They do not give them anything to eat. Thereupon they want to leave the village. At that moment a wall that was about to collapse appears before them; Khidr (peace be upon him) straightens this wall and continues on his way.
Meanwhile Moses (peace be upon him) says to Khidr (peace be upon him): "If you had wished, for repairing this wall you would have asked for a wage."
