The two went on till they came upon some villagers, and asked the people for food, but they refused to entertain them. There they found a wall that was crumbling, which he repaired. Moses remarked: "You could have demanded wages for it if you liked."

اَمَّا السَّفِيْنَۃُ فَكَانَتْ لِمَسٰكِيْنَ يَعْمَلُوْنَ فِي الْبَحْرِ فَاَرَدْتُّ اَنْ اَعِيْبَہَا وَكَانَ وَرَاۗءَہُمْ مَّلِكٌ يَّاْخُذُ كُلَّ سَفِيْنَۃٍ غَصْبًا۝۷۹

That boat belonged to poor people who used to toil on the sea. I damaged it because there was a king after them who used to seize every ship by force.

79

وَاَمَّا الْغُلٰمُ فَكَانَ اَبَوٰہُ مُؤْمِنَيْنِ فَخَشِيْنَاۗ اَنْ يُرْہِقَہُمَا طُغْيَانًا وَّكُفْرًا۝۸۰ۚ

We hoped their Lord would give them a substitute better than him in virtue and goodness.

As for that wall, it belonged to two orphan boys of the city, and their treasure was buried under it. Their father was an upright man. So your Lord willed that on reaching the age of maturity they should dig out their treasure as a favour from their Lord. So, I did not do that of my own accord. This is the explanation of things you could not bear with patience."
