And Moses chose from his people seventy men from their best, and went out with them to Mount -Sinai-- for the time and the term which Allah appointed him that he meet Him therein with them for the repentance from what was of the foolish ones of the Children of Israel of the worship of the calf, then when they came to that place they said: We will never believe for you O Moses until we see Allah openly for you have surely spoken to Him so show Him to us, then the severe earthquake took them so they died, then Moses stood pleading to Allah and saying: My Lord what do I say to the Children of Israel if I came to them, while You have surely destroyed their best? Had You willed You would have destroyed them all together from before this state and I with them, for that would be lighter upon me, would You destroy us by what the foolish ones of dreams among us performed? This act which my people performed of their worship of the calf is not but a trial and a testing, You misguiding by it whom You will of Your creation, and You guiding by it whom You will his guidance, You are our Protector and our Helper, so forgive us our sins, and have mercy on us with Your mercy, and You are the best of who pardoned from a crime, and covered from a sin.
