AL KAHFI — Ayat 66

Tafsir Ibnu Katsir

قَالَ سَتَجِدُنِى إِن شَآءَ اللَّهُ صَابِرًا وَلاَ أَعْصِى لَكَ أمْراً - قَالَ فَإِنِ اتَّبَعْتَنِى فَلاَ تَسْأَلْنى عَن شَىءٍ حَتَّى أُحْدِثَ لَكَ مِنْهُ ذِكْراً

66. Musa said to him: ”May I follow you so that you teach me something of that knowledge which you have been taught (by Allah)'' 67. He said: ”Verily, you will not be able to have patience with me!'' 68. ”And how can you have patience about a thing which you know not'' 69. Musa said: ”If Allah wills, you will find me patient, and I will not disobey you in aught.'' 70. He said: ”Then, if you follow me, ask me not about anything till I myself mention of it to you.'' Allah tells us what Musa said to that learned man, who was Al-Khidr. He was one to whom Allah had given knowledge that He had not given to Musa, just as He had given Musa knowledge that He had not given to Al-Khidr.
