The Holy Quran 18:64 — Surah Al-Kahf

Arabic text

قَالَ ذَٰلِكَ مَا كُنَّا نَبْغِ ۚ فَٱرْتَدَّا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَارِهِمَا قَصَصًا

Translation

Moosa عليه الصلاة والسلام said, "That (coming alive of the fish) was the very thing we were seeking (because it marked the place where we will meet Khidr)!" So they retraced their steps (back to the boulder).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Probably there was no made road, so they turned back, retracing their own footprints.
