When Moses came to the place appointed by Us, and his Lord addressed him, He said: "O my Lord! show (Thyself) to me, that I may look upon thee." Allah said: "By no means canst thou see Me (direct); But look upon the mount; if it abide in its place, then shalt thou see Me." When his Lord manifested His glory on the Mount, He made it as dust. And Moses fell down in a swoon. When he recovered his senses he said: "Glory be to Thee! to Thee I turn in repentance, and I am the first to believe."

Musa, tayin ettiğimiz vakitte gelip Rabbi onunla konuşunca, Musa: "Rabbim! Bana Kendini göster, Sana bakayım" dedi. Allah: "Sen Beni göremezsin ama dağa bak, eğer o yerinde kalırsa sen de Beni göreceksin" buyurdu. Rabbi dağa tecelli edince onu yerlebir etti ve Musa da baygın düştü; ayılınca: "Yarabbi, münezzehsin, Sana tevbe ettim, ben inananların ilkiyim" dedi.
