وَجَآءَتۡ سَيَّارَةٞ فَأَرۡسَلُواْ وَارِدَهُمۡ فَأَدۡلَىٰ دَلۡوَهُۥۖ قَالَ يَٰبُشۡرَىٰ هَٰذَا غُلَٰمٞۚ وَأَسَرُّوهُ بِضَٰعَةٗۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمُۢ بِمَا يَعۡمَلُونَ ١٩

Wajā'at sayyāratun fa arsalū wāridahum fa adlā dalwahū qāla yābushrā hādhā ghulāmun wa asarrūhu bidā'atan wallāhu 'alīmu bimā ya'malūn
