Al-A'raf 7:143 ولما جاء موسى لميقاتنا وكلمه ربه قال رب ارني انظر اليك قال لن تراني ولاكن انظر الى الجبل فان استقر مكانه فسوف تراني فلما تجلى ربه للجبل جعله دكا وخر موسى صعقا فلما افاق قال سبحانك تبت اليك وانا اول المومنين ١٤٣
وَلَمَّا
جَآءَ
مُوسَىٰ
لِمِيقَٰتِنَا
وَكَلَّمَهُۥ
رَبُّهُۥ
قَالَ
رَبِّ
أَرِنِيٓ
أَنظُرۡ
إِلَيۡكَۚ
قَالَ
لَن
تَرَىٰنِي
وَلَٰكِنِ
ٱنظُرۡ
إِلَى
ٱلۡجَبَلِ
فَإِنِ
ٱسۡتَقَرَّ
مَكَانَهُۥ
فَسَوۡفَ
تَرَىٰنِيۚ
فَلَمَّا
تَجَلَّىٰ
رَبُّهُۥ
لِلۡجَبَلِ
جَعَلَهُۥ
دَكّٗا
وَخَرَّ
مُوسَىٰ
صَعِقٗاۚ
فَلَمَّآ
أَفَاقَ
قَالَ
سُبۡحَٰنَكَ
تُبۡتُ
إِلَيۡكَ
وَأَنَا۠
أَوَّلُ
ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
١٤٣
When Moses came for the appointment, and his Lord spoke to him, he said, ‘My Lord, show Yourself to me: let me see You!’ He said, ‘You will never see Me, but look at that mountain: if it remains standing firm, you will see Me,’ and when his Lord revealed Himself to the mountain, He made it crumble: Moses fell down unconscious. When he recovered, he said, ‘Glory be to You! To You I turn in repentance! I am the first to believe!’
