وَلَمَّا وَرَدَ مَاۤءَ مَدْيَنَ وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ اُمَّةً مِّنَ النَّاسِ يَسْقُوْنَ ەۖ وَوَجَدَ مِنْ دُوْنِهِمُ امْرَاَتَيْنِ تَذُوْدٰنِۚ قَالَ مَا خَطْبُكُمَا ۗقَالَتَا لَا نَسْقِيْ حَتّٰى يُصْدِرَ الرِّعَاۤءُ وَاَبُوْنَا شَيْخٌ كَبِيْرٌ ( القصص: ٢٣ )

English Sahih:
And when he came to the water [i.e., well] of Madyan, he found there a crowd of people watering [their flocks], and he found aside from them two women holding back [their flocks]. He said, "What is your circumstance?" They said, "We do not water until the shepherds dispatch [their flocks]; and our father is an old man." (Al-Qasas [28] : 23)
Ma Jian (Simplified):
当他来到麦德彦的泉水旁的时候，他看见一群人在那里饮羊，他发现除他们外还有两个女子，拦着她俩的羊群。他说：“你俩为什么这样呢？”她俩说：“我们要到牧人们使他们的羊离开泉水，才得饮我们的羊。我们的父亲是一位龙钟的老人。” (故事 [28] : 23)
