So they set out, until when they came to the people of a town, they asked its people for food, but they refused to offer them hospitality. And they found therein a wall about to collapse, so he [i.e., al-Khiḍr] restored it. [Moses] said, "If you wished, you could have taken for it a payment."

பின்னர் அவ்விருவரும் வழி நடந்து, இருவரும் ஒரு கிராமத்தாரிடம் வந்து சேர்ந்தார்கள்; தங்களிருவருக்கும் உணவு தருமாறு அந்த கிராமத்தாரிடம் கேட்டார்கள்; ஆனால் அவ்விருவருக்கும் விருந்தளிக்க அவர்கள் மறுத்து விட்டார்கள்; அப்போது அங்கே இடிந்து அடியோடு விழும் நிலையிலிருந்து ஒரு சுவரை அவ்விருவரும் கண்டனர்; ஆகவே, அவர் (சரிசெய்து) நிமிர்த்து வைத்தார். (இதைக் கண்ட மூஸா) "நீங்கள் நாடியிருந்தால் இதற்கென ஒரு கூலியை பெற்றிருக்கலாமே" என்று (மூஸா) கூறினார்.

පසුව ඔවුන් දෙදෙනා ගමක වැසියන් වෙත පැමිණෙන තෙක් ගමන් ගත්තෝ ය. එහි වැසියන්ගෙන් ඔවුන් දෙදෙනා ආහාර ඉල්ලා සිටියෝ ය. එහෙත් ඔවුන් දෙදෙනාට ආගන්තුක සත්කාර කිරීමට ඔවුහු ප්‍රතික්ෂේප කළෝ ය. එවිට ඔවුහු දෙදෙනා එහි ගරා වැටෙන්නට යන බිත්තියක් දුටුවෝ ය. එවිට ඔහු එය කෙළින් කළේ ය. (මෙය දුටු) ඔහු (මූසා) ඔබ අභිමත කළේ නම් ඒ සඳහා ඔබට කුලියක් ලබා ගන්නට තිබුණි යැයි පැවසී ය.

پھر دونوں چلے ایک گاؤں والوں کے پاس آکر ان سے کھانا طلب کیا تو انہوں نے ان کی مہمانداری سے صاف انکار کر دیا ، دونوں نے وہاں ایک دیوار پائی جو گراہی چاہتی تھی، اس نے اسے ٹھیک اور درست کر دیا، موسیٰ (علیہ السلام) کہنے لگے اگر آپ چاہتے تو اس پر اجرت لے لیتے.

それから2人は旅を続けて,或る町の住民の所まで来た。そこの村人に食物を求めたが,かれらは2人を歓待することを拒否した。その時2人は,正に倒れんばかりの壁を見付けて,かれはそれを直してやった。かれ(ムーサー)は言った。「もし望んだならば,それに対してきっと報酬がとれたでしょう。」

他俩又同行,来到了一个城市,就向城里居民求食,他们不肯款待。后来他俩在城里发现一堵墙快要倒塌了,他就把那堵墙修理好了,穆萨说:如果你意欲,你必为这件工作而索取工钱。

Tafsir of 18:77

The Story of repairing the Wall Allah tells us that فَانطَلَقَا (they both proceeded) after the first two instances, حَتَّى إِذَآ أَتَيَآ أَهْلَ قَرْيَةٍ (till when they came to the people of a town,) Ibn Jarir narrated from Ibn Sirin that this was Al-Aylah. According to the Hadith; «حَتَّى إِذَا أَتَيَا أَهْلَ قَرْيَةٍ لِئَامًا» (When they came there, the people of the town were mean.) i.e., miserly اسْتَطْعَمَآ أَهْلَهَا فَأَبَوْاْ أَن يُضَيِّفُوهُمَا فَوَجَدَا فِيهَا جِدَاراً يُرِيدُ أَن يَنقَضَّ (they asked them for food, but they refused to entertain them. Then they found therein a wall about to collapse and he (Khidr) set it up straight.) means, he fixed it so it was standing upright properly. We have already seen in the Hadith quoted above that he set it up with his own hands, supporting it until it was standing straight again, which is something extraordinary. At this point Musa said to him: لَوْ شِئْتَ لاَتَّخَذْتَ عَلَيْهِ أَجْراً (If you had wished, surely you could have taken wages for it!) meaning, because they did not entertain us as guests, you should not have worked for them for free.…
