فأخبرتاه بقصة موسى (عليه السلام)، و لم تعرفاه، فقال شعيب لواحدة منهما: اذهبي إليه، فادعيه لنجزيه أجر ما سقى لنا. When the daughters of Shuayb -as returned to Shuayb -as , he -as said to the two of them: ‘Your return was quick!’ So they related to him -as the story of Musa -as , and he -as did not recognise him -as . So Shuayb -as said to one of them: ‘Go to him -as , so that he -as can be recompensed for having watered for us’.

فجاءت إليه، كما حكى الله تعالى: تَمْشِي عَلَى اسْتِحْياءٍ قالَتْ إِنَّ أَبِي يَدْعُوكَ لِيَجْزِيَكَ أَجْرَ ما سَقَيْتَ لَنا، فقام موسى معها، و مشت أمامه، فصفقتها الريح، فبان عجزها، فقال لها موسى: تأخري، و دليني على الطريق بحصاة تلقينها أمامي أتبعها، فأنا من قوم لا ينظرون في أدبار النساء. She went to him -as as Allah -azwj has Related: Then one of the two (women) came over to him bashfully. She said, ‘My father invites you in order to recompense you for having watered for us [28:25] .

Musa -as stood up to go with her, and she walked in front of him -as . However, Musa -as said to her: ‘Walk behind me -as , and show me -as the way and I -as shall follow the direction, for we -as are a people who do not look at the backs of the women’. فلما دخل على شعيب، قص عليه قصته، فقال له شعيب: لا تَخَفْ نَجَوْتَ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ، قالت إحدى بنات شعيب: يا أَبَتِ اسْتَأْجِرْهُ إِنَّ خَيْرَ مَنِ اسْتَأْجَرْتَ الْقَوِيُّ الْأَمِينُ.

So when he -as came up to Shuayb -as , related to him -as the story. Shuayb -as said to him -as : ‘Do not fear! You have escaped from the unjust people’ [28:25] ’. One of the daughters of Shuayb -as said, ‘ One of the two (women) said, ‘O father! Employ him. Surely he is the best of the one you can employ, being strong, trustworthy’ [28:26] ’.

فقال لها شعيب: أما قوته، فقد عرفته بسقي الدلو وحده، فبم عرفت أمانته؟ فقالت له: إنه لما قال لي: تأخري عني، و دليني على الطريق، فأنا من قوم لا ينظرون في أدبار النساء، عرفت أنه من القوم الذين لا ينظرون أعجاز النساء، فهذه أمانته. Shuayb -as said to her: ‘As for his -as strength, so you recognised it by his -as drawing the bucket alone.

How did you recognise his -as trustworthiness?’ She said to him -as , ‘He -as said to me: ‘Walk behind me, and show me the way, for we -asws are a people who do not look at the backs of the women’. I recognised that he -as is from a people who do not look at the body parts of the women, therefore this is his -as trustworthiness’.
