« ሹዐይብ ሆይ ! ከምትለው ነገር ብዙውን አናውቀውም ፡ ፡ እኛም አንተን በእኛ ውስጥ ደካማ ሆነህ እናይሃለን ፡ ፡ ጎሳዎችህም ባልኖሩ ኖሮ በወገርንህ ነበር ፤ አንተም በእኛ ላይ የተከበርክ አይደለህም » አሉት ፡ ፡
They said , " Shu 'ayb , we do not understand much of what you say , but we know that you are weak among us . Had it not been for our respect of your tribe , we would have stoned you to death ; you are not very dear to us " .
