நாம் (ஸினாய்) மலையை அவர்களுக்கு மேல் முகட்டைப்போல் உயர்த்தினோம்; அப்போது அவர்கள் அது தங்கள் மீது விழுந்து விடுமோ என்று எண்ணியபோது, நாம் அவர்களை நோக்கி, "நாம் உங்களுக்குக் கொடுத்த (வேதத்)தைப் பலமாகப் பிடித்துக் கொள்ளுங்கள்; அதிலுள்ளவற்றைச் சிந்தியுங்கள்; நீங்கள் பயபக்தியுடையோர் ஆகலாம்" (என்று கூறினோம்).

තවද ඔවුනට ඉහළින් වළාකුලක් මෙන් කන්ද ඔසවා තැබූ අවස්ථාව සිහිපත් කරනු. සැබැවින් ම එය ඔවුන් මත වැටෙනු ඇතැයි ඔවුහු සිතූහ. නුඹලා බිය හැඟීමෙන් යුතුව කටයුතු කළ හැකි වනු පිණිස නුඹලාට අපි පිරිනැමූ දෑ නුඹලා බලවත් ලෙස ග්‍රහණය කර ගනු. තවද එහි ඇති දෑ නුඹලා මෙනෙහි කරනු.

اور وه وقت بھی قابل ذکر ہے جب ہم نے پہاڑ کو اٹھا کر سائبان کی طرح ان کے اوپر معلق کر دیا اور ان کو یقین ہوگیا کہ اب ان پر گرا اور کہا کہ جو کتاب ہم نے تم کو دی ہے اسے مضبوطی کے ساتھ قبول کرو اور یاد رکھو جو احکام اس میں ہیں اس سے توقع ہے کہ تم متقی بن جاؤ۔

われがかれらの上で天蓋のように山を揺り動かし,かれらがそれが自分たちの上に落ちてくると考えた時を思え。(その時われは言った。)「われがあなたがたに授けたもの(啓典)を堅く守り,その中にあることを銘記せよ。そうすればあなたがたは,主を畏れるであろう。」

当时我使那座山在他们的上面震动,好像伞盖一样,他们猜想那座山要落在他们的头上。我说:你们当坚持我赐予你们的经典,并当牢记其中的教训,以便你们敬畏。

Raising Mount Tur over the Jews, because of Their Rebellion `Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn `Abbas commented on the Ayah, وَإِذ نَتَقْنَا الْجَبَلَ فَوْقَهُمْ (And (remember) when We Nataqna the mountain over them), "We raised the mountain, as Allah's other statement testifies, وَرَفَعْنَا فَوْقَهُمُ الطُّورَ بِمِيثَقِهِمْ (And for their covenant, We raised over them the mountain) 4:154." Also, Sufyan Ath-Thawri narrated that Al-A`mash said that, Sa`id bin Jubayr said that Ibn `Abbas said, "The angels raised the Mount over their heads, as reiterated by Allah's statement, وَرَفَعْنَا فَوْقَهُمُ الطُّورَ (We raised over them the mountain) 4:154." Al-Qasim bin Abi Ayyub narrated that Sa`id bin Jubayr said that Ibn `Abbas said, "Musa later on proceeded with them to the Sacred Land. He took along the Tablets, after his anger subsided, and commanded them to adhere to the orders that Allah ordained to be delivered to them. But these orders became heavy on them and they did not want to implement them until Allah raised the mountain over them, كَأَنَّهُ ظُلَّةٌ (as if it had been a canopy), that is, when the angels raised the mountain over their heads." An-Nasa'i collected it.
