The Holy Quran 7:151 — Surah Al-A'raf

Arabic text

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱغْفِرْ لِى وَلِأَخِى وَأَدْخِلْنَا فِى رَحْمَتِكَ ۖ وَأَنتَ أَرْحَمُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ

Translation

He (Moosa عليه الصلاة والسلام) said, "O my Rabb! Forgive me and my brother and enter us in Your mercy. Surely You are the Most Merciful of those who show mercy."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
