﴿ قَالَ فَإِنِ ٱتَّبَعْتَنِى فَلَا تَسْـَٔلْنِى عَن شَىْءٍ حَتَّىٰٓ أُحْدِثَ لَكَ مِنْهُ ذِكْرًۭا ﴾

“Said [the sage]: "Well, then, if thou art to follow me, do not question me about aught [that I may do] until I myself give thee an account thereof."”

(He said) Khidr said: (Well, if thou go with me) if you keep my company, O Moses, (ask me not concerning aught) about what I do (till I myself mention of it unto you) until I proceed to explain it to you.
