moses chose seventy men from his people for our tryst and when the earthquake seized them he said my lord had you wished you would have destroyed them and me before. will you destroy us because of what the fools amongst us have done? it is only your test by which you lead astray whomever you wish and guide whomever you wish. you are our master so forgive us and have mercy on us for 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
