እናንተ በቅርቢቱ ዳርቻ ኾናችሁ እነርሱም በሩቂቱ ዳርቻ ኾነው የነጋዴዎቹም ጭፍራ ከናንተ በታች ሲኾኑ በሰፈራችሁ ጊዜ ( ያደረግንላችሁን አስታውሱ ) ፡ ፡ በተቃጠራችሁም ኖሮ በቀጠሮው በተለያያችሁ ነበር ፡ ፡ ግን አላህ ሊሠራው የሚገባውን ነገር ሊፈጽም የሚጠፋ ሰው ከአስረጅ በኋላ እንዲጠፋ ሕያው የሚኾንም ሰው ከአስረጅ በኋላ ሕያው እንዲኾን ( ያለቀጠሮ አጋጠማችሁ ) ፡ ፡ አላህም በእርግጥ ሰሚ ዐዋቂ ነው ፡ ፡
when you were on the nearer bank , and they were on the farther bank , and the cavalcade was below you ; and had you made tryst together , you would have surely failed the tryst ; but that God might determine a matter that was done , that whosoever perished might perish by a clear sign , and by a clear sign he might live who lived ; and surely God is All-hearing , All-knowing .
