and moses chose of his people seventy men for our appointed tryst and when the trembling came on them he said my lord! if thou hadst willed thou hadst destroyed them long before and me with them. wilt thou destroy us for that which the ignorant among us did? it is but thy trial . thou sendest whom thou wilt astray and guidest whom thou wilt thou art our protecting friend therefore forgive us and have mercy on us thou the best of all who show forgiveness.
واختار موسى قومه سبعين رجلا لميقاتنا فلما أخذتهم الرجفة قال رب لو شئت أهلكتهم من قبل وإياي أتهلكنا بما فعل السفهاء منا إن هي إلا فتنتك تضل بها من تشاء وتهدي من تشاء أنت ولينا فاغفر لنا وارحمنا وأنت خير الغافرين
