واما الجدار فكان لغلامين يتيمين في المدينة وكان تحته كنز لهما وكان ابوهما صالحا فاراد ربك ان يبلغا اشدهما ويستخرجا كنزهما رحمة من ربك وما فعلته عن امري ذلك تاويل ما لم تسطع عليه صبرا

"As for the wall, It belonged to two youths, Orphans, in the Town; There was, beneath it, A buried treasure, to which They were entitled; their father Had been a righteous man: So thy Lord desired that They should attain their age Of full strength and get out Their treasure—a mercy (And favour) from thy Lord. I did it not of my own Accord. Such is the interpretation Of (those things) over which Thou wast unable To hold patience."
