And
when the twain reached the confluence of the two, they forgot their
fish, and it took its way into the sea freely. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
62. |
And
when the twain had passed by, he said unto his page: bring us our
morning-meal, assuredly we have met from this journey of ours, toil |
|
|
|
|
|
|
63. |
He
said: lookest thou! when we betook ourselves to the rock, then forgot
the fish; and naught but the Satan made me forget to mention it, and
it took its way into the sea--a marvel! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
64. |
Musa
said: that is that which we have been seeking. So they turned back
upon their footsteps, retracing. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
65. |
Then
the twain found a bondman from Our bondmen, him We had vouchsafed
a mercy from before Us, and him We had taught from Our presence a
knowledge. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 66. |
Musa
said unto him: shall I follow thee that thou mayest teach me of that
which thou hast been taught a directive knowledge. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
67. |
He
said: verily thou wilt not be able to have with me patience; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
68. |
And
how canst thou have patience over that which thy knowledge encompasseth
not |
|
|
|
|
|
| 69. |
Musa
said: thou wilt find me, if Allah will, patient, and shall not disobey
thee in any affair. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 70. |
He
said: then if thou wilt follow me ask me not of anything until begin
thereof some mention. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
71. |
Then
the twain journeyed until when they embarked in a boat, he scuttled
it. Musa said: hast thou scuttled it that thou mayest drown the people
thereof? Assuredly thou hast committed a thing grievous. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
72. |
He
said: said I not that thou wouldst not be able to have with me patience? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 73. |
Musa
said: take me not to task for that forget, and impose not in my affair
hardship. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
74. |
Then
the twain journeyed until when they met a boy, and he killed him.
Musa said: hast thou slain a person innocent not in return for a Person
Assuredly thou hast committed a thing formidable. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
75. |
He
said: said I not unto thee that thou wouldst by no means be able to
have with me patience? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
76. |
Musa
said: if I ask thee regarding aught after this, company not with me;
surely there hath reached to thee from my side an excuse. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 77. |
Then
the twain journeyed until when they came unto the people of a city,
they begged food from the people thereof, but they refused to entertain
the twain. Then they found therein a wall, about to fall down, and
he set it upright. Musa said: hadst thou willed, thou mightest have
taken therefor a hire. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
78. |
He
said: this shall be the parting between me and thee; now I shall declare
unto thee the interpretation of that wherewith thou wast not able
to have patience. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 79. |
As
for the boat, it belonged to poor men working in the sea, so I intended
to damage it, for there was before them a prince taking every boat
by force. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 80. |
And
as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we apprehended that
he might impose upon the twain exorbitance and infidelity. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
81. |
So
we intended that their Lord should change for the twain one better
than he in piety and closer in affection. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
82. |
And
as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the town and underneath
it was a treasure belonging to them and their father had been righteous.
So thy Lord intended that the twain should attain their maturity and
bring forth for themselves their treasure as a mercy from thy Lord.
And I did it not of mine own command; that is the interpretation of
that wherewith thou wast not able to have patience. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 83. |
And
they ask thee of Zul Qarnain. Say thou: shall recite unto you of him
some mention. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
84. |
Verily
We! We established him in the earth, and vouchsafed unto him of everything
a way. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
85. |
Then
he followed a way. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
86. |
Until
when he reached the setting-place of the sun, he perceived it setting
in a miry spring, and he found beside it a nation. We said: Zul Qarnian!
either chastise them or take in respect of them the way of kindness. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
87. |
He
said: as for him who doeth wrong, presently we shall torment him,
and thereafter he shall be brought back to his Lord, and He shall
torment him with a torment formidable. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
88. |
And
as for him who believeth and worketh righteously, unto him shall be
a goodly hire, and anon we shall speak unto him of our affair something
easy. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
89. |
Thereafter
he followed a way. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 90. |
Until
when he reached the rising place of the sun, he perceived it rising
upon a nation for whom against it We had not set a veil. |
