18:82

وَاَمَّا الْجِدَارُ فَكَانَ لِغُلَامَیْنِ یَتٖیمَیْنِ فِی الْمَدٖینَةِ وَكَانَ تَحْتَهُ كَنْزٌ لَهُمَا وَكَانَ اَبُوهُمَا صَالِحًاۚ فَاَرَادَ رَبُّكَ اَنْ یَبْلُغَٓا اَشُدَّهُمَا وَیَسْتَخْرِجَا كَنْزَهُمَاࣗ رَحْمَةً مِنْ رَبِّكَۚ وَمَا فَعَلْتُهُ عَنْ اَمْرٖیؕ ذٰلِكَ تَاْوٖیلُ مَا لَمْ تَسْطِـعْ عَلَیْهِ صَبْرًاؕ‌ࣖ

Waamma aljidaru fakana lighulamayni yateemayni fee almadeenati wakana tahtahu kanzun lahuma wakana aboohuma salihan faarada rabbuka an yablugha ashuddahuma wayastakhrija kanzahuma rahmatan min rabbika wama faAAaltuhu AAan amree thalika taweelu ma lam tastiAA AAalayhi sabran

Translations

And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and there was beneath it a treasure for them, and their father had been righteous. So your Lord intended that they reach maturity and extract their treasure, as a mercy from your Lord. And I did it not of my own accord. That is the interpretation of that about which you could not have patience

And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and there was beneath it a treasure belonging to them, and their father had been righteous, and thy Lord intended that they should come to their full strength and should bring forth their treasure as a mercy from their Lord; and I did it not upon my own command. Such is the interpretation of that wherewith thou couldst not bear
