[] introduction:

65. so they found a servant from Our servants,

 We had given him Mercy from Our presence,

 and knowledge from the knowledge in Our presence;

66. Musaa said to him: 'Do I have to follow you,

  for you to teach me from the righteous knowledge?'

67. he said: 'Surely you are not capable of patience with me;

68. 'and how can you be patient

  with what you cannot encompass with information?'

69  he said: 'You will find me, if Allah wills, patient;

  and I will not disobey you in a command;'

70. he said: 'So if you follow me,

  so do not ask me about a thing,

  until I remind you of the story;'  

[] sinking a ship:

71. so they set out,

 until when they were riding in the ship,

 he perforated it;

 he said: 'Did you perforate it to drown its followers?

  definitely you commanded a weird thing;'

72. he said: 'Did I not say to you,

  you are not capable of patience with me?'

73. he said: 'Do not take me with what I forgot,

  and do not stigmatise me from my difficult commands;'

&

[] interpretation:

79. 'as for the ship:

  so it was to the poor working in the sea,

  so I intended to damage it,

  and beyond them a king taking all ships brutally;
