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 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: "You see, I forgot the fish on the rock where we had stopped. Only Satan made me forget to mention this; but the wonder is the fish escaped to the sea." 63 Musa said: that is that which we have been seeking. So they turned back upon their footsteps, retracing. 64 So they found a bondman* from amongst Our (chosen) bondmen, to whom We had given mercy from Us, and had bestowed the inspired knowledge from Ourselves. (* Hazrat Khidr – peace be upon him.) 65 Moses said to him: 'May I follow you so that you can teach me of that you have learned of righteousness' 66 Said he, 'Assuredly thou wilt not be able to bear with me patiently. 67 "And how can you have patience about a thing which you know not?" 68 He said: Allah willing, thou shalt find me patient and I shall not in aught gainsay thee. 69 He (Khidr) said: "Then, if you follow me, ask me not about anything till I myself mention it to you." 70
