واختار موسى قومه سبعين رجلا لميقاتنا فلما اخذتهم الرجفة قال رب لو شئت اهلكتهم من قبل واياي اتهلكنا بما فعل السفهاء منا ان هي الا فتنتك تضل بها من تشاء وتهدي من تشاء انت ولينا فاغفر لنا وارحمنا وانت خير الغافرين

And Moses chose seventy Of his people for Our place Of meeting: when they Were seized with violent quaking, He prayed: "O my Lord! If it had been Thy Will Thou couldst have destroyed, Long before, both them And me: wouldst Thou Destroy us for the deeds Of the foolish ones among us? This is no more than Thy trial: by it Thou causest Whom Thou wilt to stray, And Thou leadest whom Thou wilt into the right path. Thou art our Protector: So forgive us and give us Thy mercy; for Thou art The Best of those who forgive.
