and moses chose from his people seventy men for our appointment. and when the earthquake seized them he said my lord if you had willed you could have destroyed them before and me . would you destroy us for what the foolish among us have done? this is not but your trial by which you send astray whom you will and guide whom you will. you are our protector so forgive us and have mercy upon us and you are the best of 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
