quran:28:24 –

So he watered ˹their flocks˺ for them; then he went back to the shade and said, "My Lord, indeed I am, for whatever good You would send down to me, in need."  

So he watered ˹their flock˺ for them, from another well nearby, by lifting a rock from on top of it, which only ten men could have lifted; then he retreated to the shade, of an acacia tree (samura), because of the extreme heat of the sun and he was hungry, and said, ‘My Lord, indeed I am in utter need of whatever good, ˹whatever˺ food, You send down to me’. The two women returned to their father quicker than usual and so he asked them why ˹it was so˺. They told him about the man who had watered ˹their flock˺ for them. So he said to one of them, ‘Summon him to ˹come to˺ me’.
