وَلَمَّا وَرَدَ مَاءَ مَدْیَنَ وَجَدَ عَلَیْهِ أُمَّةً مِنَ النَّاسِ یَسْقُونَ وَوَجَدَ مِنْ دُونِهِمْ امْرَأتَیْنِ تَذُودَانِ قَالَ مَا خَطْبُکُمَا قَالَتَا لاَ نَسْقِى حَتَّى یُصْدِرَ الرِّعَاءُ وَأَبُونَا شَیْخٌ کَبِیرٌ(( 23 ))

23- WHEN HE CAME TO THE WATER (WELL) OF MEDIAN, FOUND A COMPANY OF PEOPLE WATERING (THEIR FLOCKS), AND HE FOUND APART FROM THEM TWO WOMEN WHO WERE KEEPING BACK (THEIR SHEEP).

      HE SAID (TO THE WOMEN):- ``WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? (WHY DON'T YOU PROCEED TO WATER YOUR SHEEP)

      THEY ANSWERED:- ``WE DO NOT TAKE WATER, UNTIL THE SHEPHERDS HAVE GONE AWAY. AND OUR FATHER IS VERY OLD.

فَسَقَى لَهُمَا ثُمَّ تَوَلَّى إِلَى الظِّلِّ فَقَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى لِمَا أَنزَلْتَ إِلَىَّ مِنْ خَیْر فَقِیرٌ(( 24 ))

24- SO HE WATERED (THEIR FLOCKS) FOR THEM, AND THEN HE TURNED TOWARDS THE SHADOW, AND SAID:- ``MY LORD! I AM IN NEED OF WHATEVER OF GOOD YOU SEND TO ME.''

فَجَاءَتْهُ إِحْدَاهُمَا تَمْشِى عَلَى اسْتِحْیَاء قَالَتْ إِنَّ أَبِى یَدْعُوکَ لِیَجْزِیَکَ أَجْرَ مَا سَقَیْتَ لَنَا فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُ وَقَصَّ عَلَیْهِ الْقَصَصَ قَالَ لاَ تَخَفْ نَجَوْتَ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِینَ(( 25 ))

25- THEN CAME TO HIM ONE OF THE TWO (GIRLS) WALKING BASHFULLY. SHE SAID:- ``MY FATHER HAS INVITED YOU IN ORDER TO REWARD YOU FOR WATERING FOR US (OUR FLOCKS). THEN WHEN MOSES WENT TO HIM AND RELATED TO HIM THE STORY, HE SAID:- ``FEAR NO MORE. YOU HAVE BEEN SAVED FROM THE OPPRESSING PEOPLE.
