and moses chose out of his people seventy men to come at a time set by us. then when violent trembling seized them he prayed o my sustainer! hadst thou so willed thou wouldst have destroyed them ere this and me . wilt thou destroy us for what the weakminded among us have done? (all] this is but a trial from thee whereby thou allowest to go astray whom thou willest and guidest aright whom thou willest. thou art near unto us grant us then forgiveness and have mercy on us for thou art the best of all forgivers!
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
