Arabic text

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى لَآ أَمْلِكُ إِلَّا نَفْسِى وَأَخِى ۖ فَٱفْرُقْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْفَـٰسِقِينَ

Translation

He (Moosa عليه الصلاة والسلام) prayed, "O my Rabb! Indeed I have control only of myself and my brother (Haaroon عليه الصلاة والسلام, I cannot force the others to obey), so separate us from the sinful (disobedient) people."

Yusha' and Kalib were also included along with the two of them, as followers.
