Y: And Moses chose seventy of his people for Our place of meeting: when
they were seized with violent quaking, he prayed: "O my Lord! if it had
been Thy will Thou couldst have destroyed, long before, both them and
me: wouldst Thou destroy us for the deeds of the foolish ones among us?
this is no more than Thy trial: by it Thou causest whom Thou wilt to

I shall ordain for those who do right, and practise regular charity,
and those who believe in Our signs;-"

P: And ordain for us in this world that which is good, and in the
Hereafter (that which is good), Lo! We have turned unto Thee. He said:
I smite with My punishment whom I will, and My mercy embraceth all
