[18:61] When they reached the point where they met, they forgot their fish, and it found its way back to the river, sneakily. [18:62] After they passed that point, he said to his servant, "Let us have lunch. All this traveling has thoroughly exhausted us." [18:63] He said, "Remember when we sat by the rock back there? I paid no attention to the fish. It was the devil who made me forget it, and it found its way back to the river, strangely." [18:64] (Moses) said, "That was the place we were looking for." They traced their steps back. [18:65] They found one of our servants, whom we blessed with mercy, and bestowed upon him from our own knowledge. [18:66] Moses said to him, "Can I follow you, that you may teach me some of the knowledge and the guidance bestowed upon you?" [18:67] He said, "You cannot stand to be with me. [18:68] "How can you stand that which you do not comprehend?" [18:69] He said, "You will find me, GOD willing, patient. I will not disobey any command you give me." [18:70] He said, "If you follow me, then you shall not ask me about anything, unless I choose to tell you about it." [18:71] So they went. When they boarded a ship, he bore a hole in it. He said, "Did you bore a hole in it to drown its people? You have committed something terrible." [18:72] He said, "Did I not say that you cannot stand to be with me?" [18:73] He said, "I am sorry. Do not punish me for my forgetfulness; do not be too harsh with me." [18:74] So they went. When they met a young boy, he killed him. He said, "Why did you kill such an innocent soul, who did not kill another soul? You have committed something horrendous." [18:75] He said, "Did I not tell you that you cannot stand to be with me?" [18:76] He said, "If I ask you about anything else, then do not keep me with you. You have seen enough apologies from me." [18:77] So they went. When they reached a certain community, they asked the people for food, but they refused to host them. Soon, they found a wall about to collapse, and he fixed it. He said, "You could have demanded a wage for that!"
