moses selected seventy men from his people to attend our appointment. . when an earthquake jolted them to death moses said lord had you wanted to destroy them why did you not destroy them and me before. are you destroying us for what the fools among us have done? this is only a trial through which you cause some to go astray and guide others. you 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
