قَالَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا یَا أَبَتِ اسْتَأْجِرْهُ إِنَّ خَیْرَ مَنِ اسْتَأْجَرْتَ الْقَوِىُّ الاَْمِینُ(( 26 ))

26- ONE OF THE TWO (GIRLS) SAID:- ``O, FATHER! ASK HIM TO WORK FOR YOU , THAT THE BEST WHOM YOU MAY HIRE, IS THE STRONG TRUSTWORTHY.

قَالَ إِنِّى أُرِیدُ أَنْ أُنکِحَکَ إِحْدَى ابْنَتَىَّ هَاتَیْنِ عَلَى أَنْ تَأْجُرَنِى ثَمَانِىَ حِجَج فَإِنْ أَتْمَمْتَ عَشْراً فَمِنْ عِنْدِکَ وَمَا أُرِیدُ أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَیْکَ سَتَجِدُنِى إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ مِنَ الصَّالِحِینَ(( 27 ))

27- (SHUAIB) SAID:- ``I WOULD LIKE TO MARRY YOU ONE OF THE TWO DAUGHTERS OF MINE, ON CONDITION THAT YOU WORK FOR ME FOR EIGHT YEARS, AND IF YOU LIKE YOU MAY MAKE IT TEN. I DO NOT WANT TO TAKE IT HARD FOR YOU. IF GOD WILLS, SOON SHALL YOU FIND ME OF THE RIGHTEOUS.''

قَالَ ذَلِکَ بَیْنِى وَبَیْنَکَ أَیَّمَا الاَْجَلَیْنِ قَضَیْتُ فَلاَ عُدْوَانَ عَلَىَّ وَاللهُ عَلَى مَا نَقُولُ وَکِیلٌ(( 28 ))

28- MOSES SAID:- ``(I AGREE) LET IT BE SO BETWEEN ME AND YOU. WHICHEVER OF THE TWO TERMS I FULFIL, IT SHALL NOT BE WRONG; AND ALLAH IS A WITNESS ON WHAT WE SAY.''
