AND LO! [In the course of his wanderings,] Moses said to his servant: "I shall not give up until I reach the junction of the two seas, even if I [have to] spend untold years [in my quest]!" 60 So when they had reached the junction of the two (rivers) they forgot their fish, and it took its way into the sea, going away. 61 When they had gone past (the confluence), Moses said to his servant: "Give me my breakfast. I am exhausted from this journey." 62 The servant said: "Did you see what happened? When we betook ourselves to the rock to take rest, I forgot the fish - and it is only Satan who caused me to forget to mention it to you - so that it made its way into the sea in a strange manner." 63 Said he, 'This is what we were seeking!' And so they returned upon their tracks, retracing them. 64 Then they found one from among Our servants whom We had granted mercy from Us and whom We had taught knowledge from Ourselves. 65 Moses said to him: "May I attend upon you that you may instruct me in the knowledge you have been taught of the right way?" 66 He (Khidr) said: "Verily! You will not be able to have patience with me! 67 "How can you bear that which is beyond your comprehension?" 68 Musa said: thou wilt find me, if Allah will, patient, and shall not disobey thee in any affair. 69 He said, "Well then, if you would follow me, do not ask me about anything till I speak of it to you." 70
