وَاخْتَارَ مُوْسٰى قَوْمَهٗ سَبْعِيْنَ رَجُلًا لِّمِيْقَاتِنَا ۚفَلَمَّآ اَخَذَتْهُمُ الرَّجْفَةُ قَالَ رَبِّ لَوْ شِئْتَ اَهْلَكْتَهُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلُ وَاِيَّايَۗ اَتُهْلِكُنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ السُّفَهَاۤءُ مِنَّاۚ اِنْ هِيَ اِلَّا فِتْنَتُكَۗ تُضِلُّ بِهَا مَنْ تَشَاۤءُ وَتَهْدِيْ مَنْ تَشَاۤءُۗ اَنْتَ وَلِيُّنَا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا وَاَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْغٰفِرِيْنَ ۝١٥٥

Meaning

And Moses chose from his people seventy men for Our appointment. When the tremor shook them, he said, “My Lord, had You willed, You could have destroyed them before, and me too. Will You destroy us for what the fools among us have done? This is but Your test—with it You misguide whomever You will, and guide whomever You will. You are our Protector, so forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are the Best of forgivers.”
