28.23-24

وَ لَمَّا وَرَدَ مَآءَ مَدْیَنَ وَجَدَ عَلَیْهِ اُمَّةً مِّنَ النَّاسِ یَسْقُوْنَ ٘۬-وَ وَجَدَ مِنْ دُوْنِهِمُ امْرَاَتَیْنِ تَذُوْدٰنِۚ-قَالَ مَا خَطْبُكُمَاؕ-قَالَتَا لَا نَسْقِیْ حَتّٰى یُصْدِرَ الرِّعَآءُٚ-وَ اَبُوْنَا شَیْخٌ كَبِیْرٌ(23) فَسَقٰى لَهُمَا ثُمَّ تَوَلّٰۤى اِلَى الظِّلِّ فَقَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّیْ لِمَاۤ اَنْزَلْتَ اِلَیَّ مِنْ خَیْرٍ فَقِیْرٌ(24)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

And when he approached the water of Midian, he found a group of people there watering ˹their animals˺. Apart from them, he found two women who were restraining ˹their animals˺.[1] He said, “What is the matter with you?” They said, “We do not water ˹our animals˺ until the shepherds take their animals back; and our father is a very old man.” So he watered ˹their animals˺ for them, then he turned towards the shade and said, “O my Lord! I am in need of whatever good you may send down upon me.”

Commentary

[1]

After reaching Midian, Sayyidunā Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم came to a well. Here, people were watering animals, and two women, who were standing on the other side of the well, were restraining their goats. When Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام asked them about this, they explained that they cannot water their goats in the crowd, and their father is a very old man who is not able to come himself. He عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام empathised with them and drew water from another well and gave it to their goats. He then came to the shade of a tree and supplicated to Allah Almighty for food.
