and out of his people moses singled out seventy men for our appointment. then when violent shaking seized them he addressed his lord had you willed o my lord you could have destroyed them and me long ago. will you destroy us for what the fools amongst us did? that was nothing but a trial from you whereby you mislead whom you will and guide whom you will. you alone are our guardian. forgive us then and have mercy upon us. you are the best of those who forgive.
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
