Quran 18:80 — Al-Kahf, verse 80
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
The young boy had parents who were people of faith, and so, fearing he would trouble them through wickedness and disbelief,
وَأَمَّا الْغُلَامُ فَكَانَ أَبَوَاهُ مُؤْمِنَيْنِ فَخَشِينَا أَنْ يُرْهِقَهُمَا طُغْيَانًا وَكُفْرًا
wa-ammā l-ghulāmu fakāna abawāhu mu'minayni fakhashīnā an yur'hiqahumā ṭugh'yānan wakuf'ran
