Muhsin Khan: Musa (Moses) said to him (Khidr) "May I follow you so that you teach me something of that knowledge (guidance and true path) which you have been taught (by Allah)?"
67:
Muhsin Khan: He (Khidr) said: "Verily! You will not be able to have patience with me!
68:
Muhsin Khan: "And how can you have patience about a thing which you know not?"
69:
Muhsin Khan: Musa (Moses) said: "If Allah will, you will find me patient, and I will not disobey you in aught."
70:
Muhsin Khan: He (Khidr) said: "Then, if you follow me, ask me not about anything till I myself mention it to you."
71:
Muhsin Khan: So they both proceeded, till, when they embarked the ship, he (Khidr) scuttled it. Musa (Moses) said: "Have you scuttled it in order to drown its people? Verily, you have committed a thing "Imra" (a Munkar - evil, bad, dreadful thing)."
72:
Muhsin Khan: He (Khidr) said: "Did I not tell you, that you would not be able to have patience with me?"
73:
Muhsin Khan: [Musa (Moses)] said: "Call me not to account for what I forgot, and be not hard upon me for my affair (with you)."
74:
Muhsin Khan: Then they both proceeded, till they met a boy, he (Khidr) killed him. Musa (Moses) said: "Have you killed an innocent person who had killed none? Verily, you have committed a thing "Nukra" (a great Munkar - prohibited, evil, dreadful thing)!"
75:
Muhsin Khan: (Khidr) said: "Did I not tell you that you can have no patience with me?"
76:
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."
77:
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!"
78:
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.
