for them; but for them there is an appointed time from which they shall not find a refuge.

59. And (as for) these towns, We destroyed them when they acted unjustly, and We have appointed a time for their destruction.

60. And when Musa said to his servant: I will not cease until I reach the junction of the two rivers or I will go on for years.

61. So when they had reached the junction of the two (rivers), they forgot their fish, and it took its way into the sea, going away.

62. But when they had gone farther, he said to his servant: Bring to us our morning meal, certainly we have met with fatigue from this our journey.

63. He said: Did you see when we took refuge on the rock, then I forgot the fish, and nothing made me forget to speak of it but the Shaitan, and it took its way into the river; what a wonder!

64. He said: This is what we sought for; so they returned retracing their footsteps.

65. Then they found one* from among Our servants whom We had granted mercy from Us and whom We had taught knowledge from Ourselves.
