وَلَمَّا جَٓاءَ مُوسٰى لِم۪يقَاتِنَا وَكَلَّمَهُ رَبُّهُۙ قَالَ رَبِّ اَرِن۪ٓي اَنْظُرْ اِلَيْكَۜ قَالَ لَنْ تَرٰين۪ي وَلٰكِنِ انْظُرْ اِلَى الْجَبَلِ فَاِنِ اسْتَقَرَّ مَكَانَهُ فَسَوْفَ تَرٰين۪يۚ فَلَمَّا تَجَلّٰى رَبُّهُ لِلْجَبَلِ جَعَلَهُ دَكًّا وَخَرَّ مُوسٰى صَعِقًاۚ فَلَمَّٓا اَفَاقَ قَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ تُبْتُ اِلَيْكَ وَاَنَا۬ اَوَّلُ الْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ ١٤٣

English Translation
143And when Moses came to the place We had appointed, at the time We had set, his Lord spoke to him. Moses said: —My Lord, show Yourself to me, so that I may look upon You! His Lord said: —You will never see Me; but look at that mountain: if it stays in its place, then you will see Me. When his Lord manifested Himself to the mountain, He leveled it to the ground, and Moses collapsed in a faint. When he came to, he said: —I declare You free of all imperfection/Your glory is most exalted; I repent of this request, and I am the first of those who have believed (that You cannot be seen) and become believers.
