بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

7.148

وَ اتَّخَذَ قَوْمُ مُوْسٰى مِنْۢ بَعْدِهٖ مِنْ حُلِیِّهِمْ عِجْلًا جَسَدًا لَّهٗ خُوَارٌؕ-اَلَمْ یَرَوْا اَنَّهٗ لَا یُكَلِّمُهُمْ وَ لَا یَهْدِیْهِمْ سَبِیْلًاۘ-اِتَّخَذُوْهُ وَ كَانُوْا ظٰلِمِیْنَ(148)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

And the nation of Mūsā took (as a god), after him, an inanimate calf forged from their jewellery which made a bellowing sound; did they not see that it could not converse with them nor guide them to a path? They made it ˹a deity˺ and they were oppressors.[1]

Commentary

[1]

Thirty days after the departure of Prophet Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام towards Mt. Sinai to speak to Allah Almighty, Sāmirī cast a calf statue out of the jewellery of the Israelites. He placed special dust (taken from under a hoof of the horse ridden by Jibrīl عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام) within the statue, and it began to make a bellowing sound. Sāmirī used this strange statue of a calf to persuade many Israelites to worship it; apart from twelve thousand Israelites, the rest adopted the worship of this statue. When the calf-worshippers regretted their transgression and realised that they had become misguided, they prayed to Allah Almighty for forgiveness.
