أَمَّا السَّفِینَةُ فَکَانَتْ لِمَسَاکِینَ یَعْمَلُونَ فِى الْبَحْرِ فَأَرَدْتُّ أَنْ أَعِیبَهَا وَکَانَ وَرَاءَهُمْ مَّلِکٌ یَأْخُذُ کُلَّ سَفِینَة غَصْب(( 79 ))

79- AS FOR THE BOAT, IT BELONGED TO SOME POOR PEOPLE WORKING ON THE SEA. I INTENDED TO PUT A FAULT IN IT, WHILE THERE WAS A KING AFTER THEM, TAKING ALL BOATS BY FORCE.

وَأَمَّا الْغُلاَمُ فَکَانَ أَبَوَاهُ مُؤْمِنَیْنِ فَخَشِینَا أَنْ یُرْهِقَهُمَا طُغْیَاناً وَکُفْر(( 80 ))

80- AS FOR THE BOY, HIS PARENTS WERE BELIEVERS. THEN WE FEARED THAT, HE SHOULD IMPOSE ON THEM REBELLION AND BLASPHEMY.

فَأَرَدْنَا أَنْ یُبْدِلَهُمَا رَبُّهُمَا خَیْراً مِّنْهُ زَکَاةً وَأَقْرَبَ رُحْم(( 81 ))

81- SO WE WISHED THAT THEIR LORD WOULD GIVE THEM IN EXCHANGE, A BETTER THAN HIM IN PURITY, AND CLOSER IN AFFECTION.

وَأَمَّا الْجِدَارُ فَکَانَ لِغُلاَمَیْنِ یَتِیمَیْنِ فِى الْمَدِینَةِ وَکَانَ تَحْتَهُ کَنزٌ لَّهُمَا وَکَانَ أَبُوهُمَا صَالِحاً فَأَرَادَ رَبُّکَ أَنْ یَبْلُغَا أَشُدَّهُمَا وَیَسْتَخْرِجَا کَنزَهُمَا رَحْمَةً مِّنْ رَّبِّکَ وَمَا فَعَلْتُهُ عَنْ أَمْرِى ذَلِکَ تَأْوِیلُ مَا لَمْ تَسْطِعْ عَّلَیْهِ صَبْر(( 82 ))

82- AND AS FOR THE WALL; IT BELONGED TO TWO ORPHAN BOYS IN THE CITY, AND THERE WAS A TREASURE BENEATH IT FOR THEM; AND THEIR FATHER WAS A RIGHTEOUS MAN, SO YOUR LORD INTENDED THAT THEY SHOULD REACH THEIR MATURITY, AND TAKE OUT THEIR TREASURE AS A MERCY FROM YOUR LORD; AND I DID NOT DO IT BY MY OWN WILL. THAT IS THE INTERPRETATION OF WHAT YOU COULD NOT BEAR IT PATIENTLY.
