About the Surah

And when he arrived at the water (the well) of Madyan, he noticed that a group of men let their cattle drink water from the well. And Musa ( )  also noticed that two ladies were holding back (their cattle). Musa ( )  said to them: “What is the matter with you?” They said: “We cannot let our cattle drink water until the shepherds drive away (their cat-tle), and our father is a very old man.”
