فَلَمَّا
Then when
جَاوَزَا
they had passed beyond
قَالَ
he said
لِفَتَىٰهُ
to his boy,
ءَاتِنَا
"Bring us
غَدَآءَنَا
our morning meal.
لَقَدْ
Certainly
لَقِينَا
we have suffered
مِن
in
سَفَرِنَا
our journey
هَٰذَا this, نَصَبًا fatigue." قَالَ He said, أَرَءَيْتَ "Did you see, إِذْ when أَوَيْنَآ we retired إِلَى to ٱلصَّخْرَةِ the rock? فَإِنِّى Then indeed, I نَسِيتُ [I] forgot
ٱلْحُوتَ the fish. وَمَآ And not أَنسَىٰنِيهُ made me forget it إِلَّا except ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ the Shaitaan أَنْ that أَذْكُرَهُۥ I mention it. وَٱتَّخَذَ And it took سَبِيلَهُۥ its way
فِى into ٱلْبَحْرِ the sea عَجَبًا amazingly." قَالَ He said, ذَٰلِكَ "That مَا (is) what كُنَّا we were نَبْغِ seeking." فَٱرْتَدَّا So they returned عَلَىٰٓ on ءَاثَارِهِمَا their footprints,
قَصَصًا retracing. فَوَجَدَا Then they found عَبْدًا a servant مِّنْ from عِبَادِنَآ Our servants, ءَاتَيْنَٰهُ whom We had given رَحْمَةً mercy مِّنْ from عِندِنَا Us,
وَعَلَّمْنَٰهُ and We had taught him مِن from لَّدُنَّا Us عِلْمًا a knowledge. قَالَ Said لَهُۥ to him مُوسَىٰ Musa, هَلْ "May, أَتَّبِعُكَ I follow you عَلَىٰٓ on أَن that
تُعَلِّمَنِ you teach me مِمَّا of what عُلِّمْتَ you have been taught رُشْدًا (of) right guidance?" قَالَ He said, إِنَّكَ "Indeed, you لَن never تَسْتَطِيعَ will be able, مَعِىَ with me,
صَبْرًا (to have) patience. وَكَيْفَ And how can تَصْبِرُ you have patience عَلَىٰ for مَا what لَمْ not تُحِطْ you encompass بِهِۦ of it خُبْرًا any knowledge." قَالَ He said,
سَتَجِدُنِىٓ "You will find me, إِن if شَآءَ Allah wills, *[meaning includes next or prev. word] ٱللَّهُ Allah wills, *[meaning includes next or prev. word] صَابِرًا patient, وَلَآ and not أَعْصِى I will disobey لَكَ your أَمْرًا order." قَالَ He said,
فَإِنِ "Then if ٱتَّبَعْتَنِى you follow me, فَلَا (do) not تَسْـَٔلْنِى ask me عَن about شَىْءٍ anything حَتَّىٰٓ until أُحْدِثَ I present لَكَ to you مِنْهُ of it ذِكْرًا a mention."
فَٱنطَلَقَا So they both set out حَتَّىٰٓ until إِذَا when رَكِبَا they had embarked فِى on ٱلسَّفِينَةِ the ship خَرَقَهَا he made a hole in it. قَالَ He said, أَخَرَقْتَهَا "Have you made a hole in it,
لِتُغْرِقَ to drown أَهْلَهَا its people? لَقَدْ Certainly, جِئْتَ you have done شَيْـًٔا a thing إِمْرًا grave." قَالَ He said, أَلَمْ "Did not أَقُلْ I say, إِنَّكَ indeed, you
لَن never تَسْتَطِيعَ will be able مَعِىَ with me صَبْرًا (to have) patience?" قَالَ He said, لَا "(Do) not, تُؤَاخِذْنِى blame me بِمَا for what نَسِيتُ I forgot وَلَا and (do) not
تُرْهِقْنِى be hard (upon) me مِنْ in أَمْرِى my affair عُسْرًا (raising) difficulty." فَٱنطَلَقَا Then they both set out حَتَّىٰٓ until إِذَا when لَقِيَا they met غُلَٰمًا a boy, فَقَتَلَهُۥ then he killed him.
قَالَ He said, أَقَتَلْتَ "Have you killed نَفْسًا a soul, زَكِيَّةًۢ pure, بِغَيْرِ for other than نَفْسٍ a soul? لَّقَدْ Certainly, جِئْتَ you have done شَيْـًٔا a thing نُّكْرًا evil."
هَٰذَا this, نَصَبًا fatigue." قَالَ He said, أَرَءَيْتَ "Did you see, إِذْ when أَوَيْنَآ we retired إِلَى to ٱلصَّخْرَةِ the rock? فَإِنِّى Then indeed, I نَسِيتُ [I] forgot
