82 And as for the wall, it belonged to

two orphaned boys in the town.

Beneath it was a treasure that

belonged to them. Their father was a

righteous man. Your Lord wanted

them to reach their maturity, and

then extract their treasure—as a

mercy from your Lord. I did not do it

of my own accord. This is the

interpretation of what you were

unable to endure.”

86 Until, when he reached the setting

of the sun, he found it setting in a

murky spring, and found a people in

its vicinity. We said, “O Zul-Qarnain,
