وَأَمَّا
الْجِدَارُ
فَكَانَ
لِغُلَامَيْنِ
يَتِيمَيْنِ
فِي
الْمَدِينَةِ
وَكَانَ
تَحْتَهُ
كَنزٌ
لَّهُمَا
وَكَانَ
أَبُوهُمَا
صَالِحًا
فَأَرَادَ
رَبُّكَ
أَن
يَبْلُغَا
أَشُدَّهُمَا
وَيَسْتَخْرِجَا
كَنزَهُمَا
رَحْمَةً
مِّن
رَّبِّكَ
وَمَا
فَعَلْتُهُ
عَنْ
أَمْرِي
ذَلِكَ
تَأْوِيلُ
مَا
لَمْ
تَسْطِع
عَّلَيْهِ
صَبْرًا

"The tumbling wall belonged to two orphans in the town whose father was a righteous person. Underneath the wall there was a treasure that belonged to them. Your Lord wanted the orphans to find the treasure through the mercy of your Lord when they mature. I did not repair the wall out of my own desire. These were the explanations of my deeds about which you could not remain patient."
