18/Al-Kahf-76: (Moses) said: “If I ask you about anything after this, do not keep me in your company; indeed you shall have (then) reached an (acceptable) excuse from me (for you not keeping me in your company)”.
18/Al-Kahf-77: Then they both proceeded, till, when they came to the people of a town, they asked them for food, but they refused to accept them as guests. Then they found a wall which was on the point of collapsing, so (Khidr) set it up straight. (Moses) said: “If you had wished, surely, you could have taken a wage for it”.

18/Al-Kahf-82: And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and there was under it a treasure belonging to them, and their father was an improved one (Sâlih). So your Lord desired that they should attain their age of full maturity and take out their treasure, as a mercy from their Lord, and I did not do it of my own command (but the command of Allah). This is the significance (interpretation) of that with which you could not have patience.
18/Al-Kahf-83: And they ask you about “Dhû’l-Qarnain”. Say: “I shall relay (explain) to you by mentioning him”.
