Translation of the meanings Ayah: (77) Surah: Al-Kahf
فَٱنطَلَقَا حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَتَيَآ أَهۡلَ قَرۡيَةٍ ٱسۡتَطۡعَمَآ أَهۡلَهَا فَأَبَوۡاْ أَن يُضَيِّفُوهُمَا فَوَجَدَا فِيهَا جِدَارٗا يُرِيدُ أَن يَنقَضَّ فَأَقَامَهُۥۖ قَالَ لَوۡ شِئۡتَ لَتَّخَذۡتَ عَلَيۡهِ أَجۡرٗا
(77) Then they set off until when they reached some dwellers of a village, they asked its dwellers for food but they ˹resolutely˺ denied[3908] them hospitality. Then they found a wall about to tumble down and he (al-Khiḍr) set it straight. He (Mūsā) said: “If you will, you may have asked payment for it!”
[3908] Abaw (lit. they refused) is for ibā’ which is adamant refusal (cf. Ibn Fāris, Maqāyīs al-Lughah, al-Iṣfahānī, al-Mufradāt). The people of the town were extremely mean folk (cf. Muslim: 2380, al-Ṭabarī, Ibn ʿAṭiyyah, Ibn ʿĀshūr).
