He said, 'This is the parting between me and you. Now I will tell you the
interpretation of that which you could not patiently bear. „As for the ship, it
belonged to poor people working on the sea. I rendered it imperfect because
behind them there was a king who was taking every ship by brutal force.
„As for the boy, his parents are believers, and we were afraid lest he should
impose on them with his insolence and disbelief. It was our wish that their Lord
should grant them another in exchange, better in purity and tenderness.
„As for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city. Beneath it was
(buried) a treasure belonging to them. Their fathers had been a righteous
persons and your Lord willed that when they reach manhood their treasure is to
be brought out as a mercy from your Lord.
„What I did was not done by my own command. That is the interpretation of what
you could not bear with patience.' [18.60-82]
