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 And when the twain reached the confluence of the two, they forgot their fish, and it took its way into the sea freely. 61 After they had passed the place, Moses said to his young companion, "Bring us our morning meal; we have indeed been fatigued by this journey." 62 He said, “Just imagine – when we had taken shelter near the rock, so indeed I forgot the fish; and none but Satan caused me to forget to mention it; and the fish took its way into the sea – its amazing!” 63 Said he, 'This is what we were seeking!' And so they returned upon their tracks, retracing them. 64 Then found they one of Our slaves, unto whom We had given mercy from Us, and had taught him knowledge from Our presence. 65 Moses said to him, "May I follow you, so that you may guide me by what you have been taught?" 66 He (Khidr) said: "Verily! You will not be able to have patience with me! 67 And how can you have patience for what you do not encompass in knowledge?" 68 [Moses] said, "You will find me, if Allah wills, patient, and I will not disobey you in [any] order." 69 He said: Well, if thou go with me, ask me not concerning aught till I myself make mention of it unto thee. 70
