Al-A’ráf 7:155 واختار موسى قومه سبعين رجلا لميقاتنا فلما اخذتهم الرجفة قال رب لو شيت اهلكتهم من قبل واياي اتهلكنا بما فعل السفهاء منا ان هي الا فتنتك تضل بها من تشاء وتهدي من تشاء انت ولينا فاغفر لنا وارحمنا وانت خير الغافرين ١٥٥
وَٱخۡتَارَ
مُوسَىٰ
قَوۡمَهُۥ
سَبۡعِينَ
رَجُلٗا
لِّمِيقَٰتِنَاۖ
فَلَمَّآ
أَخَذَتۡهُمُ
ٱلرَّجۡفَةُ
قَالَ
رَبِّ
لَوۡ
شِئۡتَ
أَهۡلَكۡتَهُم
مِّن
قَبۡلُ
وَإِيَّٰيَۖ
أَتُهۡلِكُنَا
بِمَا
فَعَلَ
ٱلسُّفَهَآءُ
مِنَّآۖ
إِنۡ
هِيَ
إِلَّا
فِتۡنَتُكَ
تُضِلُّ
بِهَا
مَن
تَشَآءُ
وَتَهۡدِي
مَن
تَشَآءُۖ
أَنتَ
وَلِيُّنَا
فَٱغۡفِرۡ
لَنَا
وَٱرۡحَمۡنَاۖ
وَأَنتَ
خَيۡرُ
ٱلۡغَٰفِرِينَ

Moses chose seventy men from among his people for Our appointment and, when they were seized by an earthquake,1 he cried, “My Lord! Had You willed, You could have destroyed them long ago, and me as well. Will You destroy us for what the foolish among us have done? This is only a test from You—by which You allow whoever You will to stray and guide whoever You will. You are our Guardian. So forgive us and have mercy on us. You are the best forgiver.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran
And Moses chose from his people seventy men for Our appointment.1 And when the earthquake seized them,2 he said, "My Lord, if You had willed, You could have destroyed them before and me [as well]. Would You destroy us for what the foolish among us have done? This is not but Your trial by which You send astray whom You will and guide whom You will. You are our Protector, so forgive us and have mercy upon us; and You are the best of forgivers.
