Transliteration:( Fasaqaa lahumaa summa tawallaaa ilaz zilli faqaala Rabbi innee limaaa anzalta ilaiya min khairin faqeer )
"Then Musa watered their animals for them both, [62] then turned to the shade and said, 'My Lord, I am in need of whatever good You may send down to me.' [63]"
Musa (peace be upon him) removed the large stone covering the nearby well—something normally done by groups—and watered the flocks himself. This act showed not only his physical strength but also his readiness to serve others, despite being exhausted and in hardship.
After assisting them, Musa rested in the shade and humbly prayed to Allah, expressing his deep physical need and dependence. He had not eaten for nearly a week, and his body was weakened. Yet, his reliance on Allah was complete. This simple but sincere dua would soon lead to a turning point in his life—his meeting with Prophet Shu’ayb (peace be upon him).
