155. And Moses chose seventy of his people for Our place of meeting: when they were
seized with violent quaking, he prayed: "O my Lord! if it had been Thy will Thou couldst
have destroyed, long before, both them and me: wouldst Thou destroy us for the deeds of
the foolish ones among us? this is no more than Thy trial: by it Thou causest whom Thou
wilt to stray, and Thou leadest whom Thou wilt into the right path. Thou art our
Protector: so forgive us and give us Thy mercy; for Thou art the best of those who
forgive.
