Sources do not record a mythological origin story for Al-Haddar as a supernatural being. In planetary nomenclature the crater was named after a literary character—Al-Haddar, one of the barber's six brothers in "The Hunchback's Tale" from The Book of One Thousand and One Nights. Archival items show the name Haddar/Al Haddar as an authorial attribution on devotional texts, but provide no narrative origin for the name as an entity.
As described in astronomical sources, Al-Haddar is an impact crater on Enceladus approximately 14 kilometers across, located at 50.5° North Latitude, 200.6° West Longitude; Voyager 2 observed it as a bowl-shaped, simple crater. During Cassini's March 9, 2005 flyby the crater was mostly in shadow, with numerous tectonic fractures observed along its northern rim. The archival devotional references bearing the name Haddar/Al Haddar do not describe any physical appearance of a person or being.
No abilities or agentive behaviors are ascribed to Al-Haddar in the provided sources. Descriptions pertain only to the crater's morphological and observational characteristics or to the presence of the name on devotional manuscripts; there is no documentation of supernatural powers, actions, or behaviors.
