And Musa (Moses) chose out of his people seventy (of the best) men for Our appointed time and place of meeting, and when they were seized with a violent earthquake, he said: "O my Lord, if it had been Your Will, You could have destroyed them and me before; would You destroy us for the deeds of the foolish ones among us? It is only Your Trial by which You lead astray whom You will, and keep guided whom You will. You are our Wali (Protector), so forgive us and have Mercy on us, for You are the Best of those who forgive.
Na Musa akawateuwa watu sabiini katika kaumu yake kwa miadi yetu. Na ulipo fika mtetemeko mkubwa alisema: Ewe Mola wangu Mlezi! Ungeli taka ungeli wahiliki wao na mimi zamani! Unatuhiliki kwa waliyo yafanya wajinga katika sisi? Haya si chochote ila ni mtihani wako, umpoteze umtakaye na umhidi umtakaye. Wewe ndiye Rafiki Mlinzi wetu. Basi tughufirie na uturehemu. Na Wewe ndiye mbora wa kughufiria.
