and moses chose from his people seventy men for our appointment. when they were seized with violent quaking he prayed o my lord! if it had been your will you could have destroyed both them and me long ago. but would you destroy us for the deeds of the foolish ones among us? this is no more than your trial by it you cause whom you will to stray and you lead whom you will to the right path. you are our protector. forgive us therefore 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
