Verses 18:71-73 ​

فَٱنطَلَقَا حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا رَكِبَا فِى ٱلسَّفِينَةِ خَرَقَهَا ۖ قَالَ أَخَرَقْتَهَا لِتُغْرِقَ أَهْلَهَا لَقَدْ جِئْتَ شَيْـًٔا إِمْرًا

قَالَ أَلَمْ أَقُلْ إِنَّكَ لَن تَسْتَطِيعَ مَعِىَ صَبْرًا

قَالَ لَا تُؤَاخِذْنِى بِمَا نَسِيتُ وَلَا تُرْهِقْنِى مِنْ أَمْرِى عُسْرًا

“So they both proceeded until, when they had embarked on the ship, he made a hole in it. Moses said: ‘Have you made a hole in it to drown its people? You have certainly done a grave thing.’ He said: ‘Did I not tell you that you would not be able to have patience with me?’ He said: ‘Do not blame me for what I forgot, and do not be hard on me in my affair.’”
