during the appointment the lord spoke to moses. he asked the lord to show himself so that he could look at him. the lord replied you can never see me. but look at the mountain. if the mountain remains firm only then will you see me. when the lord manifested his glory to the mountain he turned it into dust and moses fell down upon his face senseless. after regaining his senses moses said lord you are all holy. i repent for what i asked you to do and i am the first to believe in you.
ولما جاء موسى لميقاتنا وكلمه ربه قال رب أرني أنظر إليك قال لن تراني ولكن انظر إلى الجبل فإن استقر مكانه فسوف تراني فلما تجلى ربه للجبل جعله دكا وخر موسى صعقا فلما أفاق قال سبحانك تبت إليك وأنا أول المؤمنين
