Sura Al-Kahf from 75 to 83


75. ( Khidr ) said: « Did I not tell you that you can have no patience with me? »
76. [ Mûsâ ( Moses ) ] said: « If I ask you anything after this, keep me not in your company, you have received an excuse from me. »
77. Then they both proceeded, till, when they came to the people of a town, they asked them for food, but they refused to entertain them. Then they found therein a wall about to collapse and he ( Khidr ) set it up straight. [ Mûsâ ( Moses ) ] said: If you had wished, surely, you could have taken wages for it! « »
78. ( Khidr ) said: « This is the parting between me and you, I will tell you the interpretation of ( those ) things over which you were unable to hold patience.»
79. « As for the ship, it belonged to Masâkîn ( poor people ) working in the sea. So I wished to make a defective damage in it, as there was a king behind them who seized every ship by force.»
80. « And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared lest he should oppress them by rebellion and disbelief.»
81. « So we intended that their Lord should change him for them for one better in righteousness and nearer to mercy.»
82. « And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the town; and there was under it a treasure belonging to them; and their father was a righteous man, and your Lord intended that they should attain their age of full strength and take out their treasure as a mercy from your Lord. And I did them not of my own accord. That is the interpretation of those ( things ) over which you could not hold patience. »
83. And they ask you about Dhul- Qarnain. Say: « I shall recite to you something of his story. »
