When, on the seashore, they saw a little child drowning, caught by a wave, and the mother calling loudly for help, Moses wished to run to help them, and he wanted Khidr to do the same. Khidr said, "I have told you not to interfere with my works." Moses said, "Oh, would you allow an innocent child to be drowned like this when you can help? How unkind!" Khidr said, "Think of your promise, and do not say another word."
