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
١٤٣
When Mūsā came at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said, “My Lord, show (Yourself) to me that I may look at You.” He said: “You shall never see Me. But look at the mount. If it stays at its place, you will see Me.” So when his Lord appeared to the Mount, He made it smashed, and Mūsā fell down unconscious. When he recovered, he said: “Pure are You. I repent to You, and I am the first to believe (that no one can see You in this world.)”

Chapter 7, Page 167, Juz 9

142. And We made an appointment with Mūsā for thirty nights, then We supplemented them with another ten. So, the total period fixed by his Lord was forty nights. Mūsā said to his brother Hārūn, “Take my place among my people and keep things right, and do not follow the way of mischief makers.” 143. When Mūsā came at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said, “My Lord, show (Yourself) to me that I may look at You.” He said: “You shall never see Me. But look at the mount. If it stays at its place, you will see Me.” So when his Lord appeared to the Mount, He made it smashed, and Mūsā fell down unconscious. When he recovered, he said: “Pure are You. I repent to You, and I am the first to believe (that no one can see You in this world.)” 144. He said, “Mūsā, I have chosen you above all men for my messages and for My speaking (to you). So, take what I have given to you, and be among the grateful.”
