moses chose from among his nation seventy men for our appointment and when the quake seized them moses said my lord had it been your will you would have destroyed them before and me. will you destroy us for that which the fools amongst us did? it is only your trial by which you leave in error whom you will and guide whom you will. you alone are our guardian. forgive us and have mercy on 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
