Surat Al-Kahf (The Cave) - سورة الكهف

Muhsin Khan
: [Musa (Moses)] said: "If I ask you anything after this, keep me not in your company, you have received an excuse from me."
Muhsin Khan
: Then they both proceeded, till, when they came to the people of a town, they asked them for food, but they refused to entertain them. Then they found therein a wall about to collapse and he (Khidr) set it up straight. [Musa (Moses)] said: If you had wished, surely, you could have taken wages for it!"
Muhsin Khan
: (Khidr) said: "This is the parting between me and you, I will tell you the interpretation of (those) things over which you were unable to hold patience.
Muhsin Khan
: "As for the ship, it belonged to Masakin (poor people) working in the sea. So I wished to make a defective damage in it, as there was a king after them who seized every ship by force.
Muhsin Khan
: "And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared lest he should oppress them by rebellion and disbelief.
Muhsin Khan
: "So we intended that their Lord should change him for them for one better in righteousness and near to mercy.
Muhsin Khan
: "And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the town; and there was under it a treasure belonging to them; and their father was a righteous man, and your Lord intended that they should attain their age of full strength and take out their treasure as a mercy from your Lord. And I did it not of my own accord. That is the interpretation of those (things) over which you could not hold patience."
