English Translation of Al-Quran
[18].Surah Al-Kahf [The Cave]
Ayat 60. And (remember) when Musa (AS)(Moses) said to his companion: "I will not give up (travelling) until I reach the junction of the two seas or (until) I spend years and years in travelling."
Ayat 61. But when they reached the junction of the two seas, they forgot their fish, and it took its way through the sea as in a tunnel.
Tafseer Surah Al-Kahf Ayat 60 & 61 This episode in the story of Moses (PBUH) is meant to illustrate four points. (1) Moses (AS) was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. Even so that wisdom did not comprehend everything, even as the whole stock of the knowledge of the present day, the sciences and the arts, and in literature, (if it could be supposed to be gathered in one individual), does not include all knowledge. Divine knowledge, as far as man is concerned, is unlimited. Even after Moses (PBUH) received his divine mission, his knowledge was not so perfect that it could not receive further additions. (2) Constant effort is necessary to keep our knowledge square with the march of time, and such effort Moses (PBUH) is shown to be making. (3) The mysterious man he meets, to whom radiation assigns the name of Khidr (literally, Green), is the type of that knowledge which is ever in contact with life as it is actually lived. (4) There are paradoxes in life: apparent loss may be real gain; apparent cruelty maybe real mercy; returning good for evil may really be justice and not generosity. Allah's wisdom transcends all human calculation. The most probable geographical location (if any is required in a story that is a parable) is where the two arms of the Red Sea join together, viz., the Gulf of 'Aqabah and the Gulf of Suez. They enclose the Sinai Peninsula , in which Moses (PBUH) and the Israelites spent many years in their wanderings. There is also authority for interpreting the two seas as the two great streams of knowledge, which were to meet in the persons of Moses(PBUH) and Khidr.
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Ibn Masud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "Whoever recites a letter from the Book of Allah, he will be credited with a good deed, and a good deed gets a ten-fold reward. I do not say that Alif-Lam-Mim is one letter, but Alif is a letter, Lam is a letter and Mim is a letter.''
[At-Tirmidhi Hadith # 2910].
Lesson : This Hadith urges us to recite the Qur'an and also mentions the great reward for reciting it.
