61 So when they reached the junction of the two (rivers), they forgot their fish, and it took its way into the river, being free.

62 But when they had gone further, he said to this servant: Bring to us our morning meal, certainly we have found fatigue in this our journey.

63 He said: Sawest thou when we took refuge on the rock, I forgot the fish, and none but the devil made me forget to speak of it, and it took its way into the river; what a wonder!

64 He said: This is what we sought for. So they returned retracing their footsteps.

65 Then they found one of Our servants whom We had granted mercy from Us and whom We had taught knowledge from Ourselves.

66 Moses said to him: May I follow thee that thou mayest teach me of the good thou hast been taught?

67 He said: Thou canst not have patience with me.

68 And how canst thou have patience in that whereof thou hast not a comprehensive knowledge?

69 He said: If Allāh please, thou wilt find me patient, nor shall I disobey thee in aught.

70 He said: If thou wouldst follow me, question me not about aught until I myself speak to thee about it.

71 So they set out until, when they embarked in a boat, he made a hole in it. (Moses) said: Hast thou made a hole in it to drown its occupants? Thou hast surely done a grievous thing.

72 He said: Did I not say that thou couldst not have patience with me?

73 He said: Blame me not for what I forgot, and be not hard upon me for what I did.

74 So they went on, until, when they met a boy, he slew him. (Moses) said: Hast thou slain an innocent person, not guilty of slaying another? Thou hast indeed done a horrible thing.
