69* Moses said: "Thou wilt find me, if Allah so will, (truly) patient: nor shall I disobey thee in aught."  
| |70* The other said: "If then thou wouldst follow me, ask me no questions about anything until I myself speak to thee concerning it."  
| |71* So they both proceeded: until, when they were in the boat, he scuttled it. Said Moses: "Hast thou scuttled it in order to drown those in it? Truly a strange thing hast thou done!"  
| |72* He answered: "Did I not tell thee that thou canst have no patience with me?"  
| |73* Moses said: "Rebuke me not for forgetting, nor grieve me by raising difficulties in my case."  
| |74* Then they proceeded: until, when they met a young boy, he slew him. Moses said: "Hast thou slain an innocent person who had slain none? Truly a foul (unheard of) thing hast thou done!"  
| |75* He answered: "Did I not tell thee that thou canst have no patience with me?"  
| |76* (Moses) said: "If ever I ask thee about anything after this, keep me not in thy company: then wouldst thou have received (full) excuse from my side."  
| |77* Then they proceeded: until, when they came to the inhabitants of a town, they asked them for food, but they refused them hospitality. They found there a wall on the point of falling down, but he set it up straight. (Moses) said: "If thou hadst wished, surely thou couldst have exacted some recompense for it!"  
| |78* He answered: "This is the parting between me and thee: now will I tell thee the interpretation of (those things) over which thou wast unable to hold patience.
