[Moses] said, "Do not blame me for what I forgot and do not cover me in my matter with difficulty."
18:74

[Al-Khidh r] said, "Did I not tell you that with me you would never be able to have patience?"

18:82
Sahih International
And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and there was beneath it a treasure for them, and their father had been righteous. So your Lord intended that they reach maturity and extract their treasure, as a mercy from your Lord. And I did it not of my own accord. That is the interpretation of that about which you could not have patience."
18:83

18:87
Sahih International
