Al-Kahf 18:82 واما الجدار فكان لغلامين يتيمين في المدينة وكان تحته كنز لهما وكان ابوهما صالحا فاراد ربك ان يبلغا اشدهما ويستخرجا كنزهما رحمة من ربك وما فعلته عن امري ذالك تاويل ما لم تسطع عليه صبرا ٨٢
وَأَمَّا
ٱلۡجِدَارُ
فَكَانَ
لِغُلَٰمَيۡنِ
يَتِيمَيۡنِ
فِي
ٱلۡمَدِينَةِ
وَكَانَ
تَحۡتَهُۥ
كَنزٞ
لَّهُمَا
وَكَانَ
أَبُوهُمَا
صَٰلِحٗا
فَأَرَادَ
رَبُّكَ
أَن
يَبۡلُغَآ
أَشُدَّهُمَا
وَيَسۡتَخۡرِجَا
كَنزَهُمَا
رَحۡمَةٗ
مِّن
رَّبِّكَۚ
وَمَا
فَعَلۡتُهُۥ
عَنۡ
أَمۡرِيۚ
ذَٰلِكَ
تَأۡوِيلُ
مَا
لَمۡ
تَسۡطِع
عَّلَيۡهِ
صَبۡرٗا
