وَلَمَّا And when walammā came jāa Musa mūsā to Our appointed place limīqātinā and spoke to him wakallamahu his Lord rabbuhu he said qāla O my Lord rabbi Show me arinī (that) I may look anẓur at You ilayka He said qāla Never lan you (can) see Me tarānī but walākini look unẓur at ilā the mountain l-jabali [then] if fa-ini it remains is'taqarra in its place makānahu then fasawfa you (will) see Me tarānī But when falammā revealed (His) Glory tajallā his Lord rabbuhu to the mountain lil'jabali He made it jaʿalahu crumbled to dust dakkan and fell down wakharra Musa mūsā unconscious ṣaʿiqan And when falammā he recovered afāqa he said qāla Glory be to You sub'ḥānaka I turn (in repentance) tub'tu to you ilayka and I am wa-anā (the) first awwalu (of) the believers l-mu'minīna
And when Moses arrived at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said, "My Lord, show me [Yourself] that I may look at You." [Allāh] said, "You will not see Me,1 but look at the mountain; if it should remain in place, then you will see Me." But when his Lord appeared to the mountain, He rendered it level,2 and Moses fell unconscious. And when he awoke, he said, "Exalted are You! I have repented to You, and I am the first [among my people] of the believers."3
