(Consider) when Moses said to his young companion, "I shall continue travelling until I reach the junction of the two seas or have travelled for many years". 60 When they reached the junction of the two seas they found out that they had forgotten all about the fish (which they had carried for food). The fish found its way into the sea. 61 And after the two had walked some distance, [Moses] said to his servant: "Bring us our mid-day meal; we have indeed suffered hardship on this [day of] our journey!" 62 He said: Did you see when we took refuge on the rock then I forgot the fish, and nothing made me forget to speak of it but the Shaitan, and it took its way into the river; what a wonder! 63 Moses said: "That is what we were looking for." So the two turned 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 to him: 'May I follow you so that you can teach me of that you have learned of righteousness' 66 He said: "You will not be able to bear with me. 67 And how shouldst thou bear patiently that thou hast never encompassed in thy knowledge?' 68 He said: If Allah pleases, you will find me patient and I shall not disobey you in any matter. 69 He said: If you would follow me, then do not question me about any thing until I myself speak to you about it 70
