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

7:143
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

And when Moses arrived at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said, "My Lord, show me [Yourself] that I may look at You." [Allāh] said, "You will not see Me,1 but look at the mountain; if it should remain in place, then you will see Me." But when his Lord appeared to the mountain, He rendered it level,2 and Moses fell unconscious. And when he awoke, he said, "Exalted are You! I have repented to You, and I am the first [among my people] of the believers."3

Chapter 7, Page 167, Juz 9

142. And We made an appointment with Moses for thirty nights and perfected them by [the addition of] ten; so the term of his Lord was completed as forty nights. And Moses said to his brother Aaron, "Take my place among my people, do right [by them], and do not follow the way of the corrupters." 143. And when Moses arrived at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said, "My Lord, show me [Yourself] that I may look at You." [Allāh] said, "You will not see Me, but look at the mountain; if it should remain in place, then you will see Me." But when his Lord appeared to the mountain, He rendered it level, and Moses fell unconscious. And when he awoke, he said, "Exalted are You! I have repented to You, and I am the first [among my people] of the believers." 144. [Allāh] said, "O Moses, I have chosen you over the people with My messages and My words [to you]. So take what I have given you and be among the grateful."
