And when Moses said to his page, 'I will not give up until I reach the meeting of the two seas, though I go on for many years. 60 When they reached the confluence they forgot the fish (they had brought as food) which swiftly made its way into the sea. 61 When they had passed on (some distance), Moses said to his attendant: "Bring us our early meal; truly we have suffered much fatigue at this (stage of) our journey." 62 Said [the servant]: "Wouldst thou believe it? When we betook ourselves to that rock for a rest, behold, I forgot about the fish - and none but Satan made me thus forget it - and it took its way into the sea! How strange!" 63 [Musa (Moses)] said: "That is what we have been seeking." So they went back retracing their footsteps. 64 Then the twain found a bondman from Our bondmen, him We had vouchsafed a mercy from before Us, and him We had taught from Our presence a knowledge. 65 Moses said unto him: May I follow thee, to the end that thou mayst teach me right conduct of that which thou hast been taught? 66 He (Khidr) said: "Verily! You will not be able to have patience with me! 67 for how couldst thou be patient about something that thou canst not comprehend within the compass of [thy] experience?" 68 Replied [Moses]: "Thou wilt find me patient, if God so wills; and I shall not disobey thee in anything!" 69 "If you must follow me," he said, "do not ask me any thing until I speak of it to you myself." 70
