62 : 18

فَلَمَّا جَاوَزَا قَالَ لِفَتَىٰهُ ءَاتِنَا غَدَآءَنَا لَقَدۡ لَقِينَا مِن سَفَرِنَا هَٰذَا نَصَبٗا

62. Then when they had passed beyond it, Moses said to his young attendant, “Bring us our meal; we have encountered in this our journey ^[36] [much] fatigue."

[36]. There are six forms of chivalry. Three of them are for when you are at home and three others are for when you are travelling. The three for when you are at home are: reciting the Qur’an, regularly attending the congregational prayer and promoting God's Mosques and making friends for the sake of God. The three for when you are travelling are: to give to others from your own travel provisions, being good-tempered and joking regarding things other than acts of disobedience.

63 : 18

قَالَ أَرَءَيۡتَ إِذۡ أَوَيۡنَآ إِلَى ٱلصَّخۡرَةِ فَإِنِّي نَسِيتُ ٱلۡحُوتَ وَمَآ أَنسَىٰنِيهُ إِلَّا ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ أَنۡ أَذۡكُرَهُۥۚ وَٱتَّخَذَ سَبِيلَهُۥ فِي ٱلۡبَحۡرِ عَجَبٗا

63. He said, “Did you see when we stopped [for rest] at the rock? Indeed, I forgot the fish—and none but Satan ^[37] made me forget to mention it—and it took its course into the sea amazingly.”

[37]. Satan was eager to make him forget this extraordinary event, knowing that the meeting of these two pious and profoundly knowledgeable servants — Moses and al-Khiḍr — would lead to even greater knowledge and enlightenment.

64 : 18

قَالَ ذَٰلِكَ مَا كُنَّا نَبۡغِۚ فَٱرۡتَدَّا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَارِهِمَا قَصَصٗا

64. [Moses] said, “That is the place we were looking for!” So they returned back, retracing their footsteps.

65 : 18

فَوَجَدَا عَبۡدٗا مِّنۡ عِبَادِنَآ ءَاتَيۡنَٰهُ رَحۡمَةٗ مِّنۡ عِندِنَا وَعَلَّمۡنَٰهُ مِن لَّدُنَّا عِلۡمٗا

65. Then they found one of Our servants ^[38], whom We had granted mercy from Us, and whom We had taught knowledge from Our Own Presence.

[38]. I.e., Al-Khidr.

66 : 18

قَالَ لَهُۥ مُوسَىٰ هَلۡ أَتَّبِعُكَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن تُعَلِّمَنِ مِمَّا عُلِّمۡتَ رُشۡدٗا

66. Moses said to him, “May I follow you ^[39], so that you may teach me some of the right [knowledge] that you have been taught?”

[39]. Moses here gives a valuable lesson of showing humbleness to those who have greater knowledge than one’s self. He sought permission to be a follower of Al-Khiḍr’s and asked him to teach him.

67 : 18

قَالَ إِنَّكَ لَن تَسۡتَطِيعَ مَعِيَ صَبۡرٗا

67. He said, “Indeed, you will not be able to have patience with me.”

68 : 18

وَكَيۡفَ تَصۡبِرُ عَلَىٰ مَا لَمۡ تُحِطۡ بِهِۦ خُبۡرٗا

68. How could you have patience for what you have not encompassed in knowledge?

69 : 18

قَالَ سَتَجِدُنِيٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ صَابِرٗا وَلَآ أَعۡصِي لَكَ أَمۡرٗا

69. [Moses] said, “You will find me patient, if Allāh wills, and I will not disobey you in any matter.”

70 : 18

قَالَ فَإِنِ ٱتَّبَعۡتَنِي فَلَا تَسۡـَٔلۡنِي عَن شَيۡءٍ حَتَّىٰٓ أُحۡدِثَ لَكَ مِنۡهُ ذِكۡرٗا

70. He said, "Then if you follow me, do not question me about anything until I myself mention it to you."

71 : 18

فَٱنطَلَقَا حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا رَكِبَا فِي ٱلسَّفِينَةِ خَرَقَهَاۖ قَالَ أَخَرَقۡتَهَا لِتُغۡرِقَ أَهۡلَهَا لَقَدۡ جِئۡتَ شَيۡـًٔا إِمۡرٗا

71. So they went on until, when they had embarked on a boat, he made a hole in it. Moses said, “Have you made a hole in it to drown its people? You have certainly done a dreadful thing!”

72 : 18

قَالَ أَلَمۡ أَقُلۡ إِنَّكَ لَن تَسۡتَطِيعَ مَعِيَ صَبۡرٗا

72. He said, “Did I not say that you would never be able to have patience with me?”

73 : 18

قَالَ لَا تُؤَاخِذۡنِي بِمَا نَسِيتُ وَلَا تُرۡهِقۡنِي مِنۡ أَمۡرِي عُسۡرٗا

73. [Moses] said: "Blame me not for what I forgot ^[40], and do not be hard on me in my affair with difficult."

[40]. Muhammad, God's Messenger ﷺ said: "The first excuse given by Moses, was that he had forgotten, while they were in the ship. Then a sparrow came and sat over the edge of the ship and dipped its beak once in the sea. Al-Khidr said to Moses, "My knowledge and your knowledge, compared to Allâh’s Knowledge is like what this sparrow has taken out of the sea."

74 : 18

فَٱنطَلَقَا حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا لَقِيَا غُلَٰمٗا فَقَتَلَهُۥ قَالَ أَقَتَلۡتَ نَفۡسٗا زَكِيَّةَۢ بِغَيۡرِ نَفۡسٖ لَّقَدۡ جِئۡتَ شَيۡـٔٗا نُّكۡرٗا

74. So they went on until, when they met a boy, he killed him ^[41]. Moses said, “Have you killed an innocent soul who has killed no one? You have certainly done a deplorable thing!”

[41]. Even though the parents were believers, the son was to become a disbeliever, and it was feared that he would make them fall into disbelief out of their love for him.
