7.141 - And when We saved you from the people of Firon who afflicted you with the worst torture, killing your sons and sparing your women. And in that was a great trial from your Lord. 7.142 - And We made an appointment with Musa for thirty nights and perfected them by ten, so the appointment of his Lord was completed as forty nights. And Musa said to his brother Harun: Take my place among my people and do good and do not follow the way of the mischief-makers. 7.143 - And when Musa came to Our appointment and his Lord spoke to him, he (Musa) said: My Lord! Show me Yourself that I may look at You. He (Allah) said: You can not see Me, but look at the mountain, if it should remain stable in its place, then you will see Me. And when his Lord appeared to the mountain, He made it crumble and Musa fell down unconscious. And when he awake, he (Musa) said: Glory be to You, I have repented to You, and I am the first of the believers. 7.144 - He (Allah) said: O Musa! Indeed, I have chosen you above the people with My messages and with My words, so take what I have given you strongly and be among the grateful. 7.145 - And We wrote for him on the tablets of everything; an admonition and an explanation for everything. So take it strongly and command your people to take what is best thereof; I will show you the home of the disobedient. 7.146 - I will turn away from My signs those who are arrogant in the land without right. And if they see every sign they will not believe in it; and if they see the way of guidance they do not take it as a way, and if they see the way of error, they take it as a way. That is because they denied Our signs and they were of them unaware. 7.147 - And those who have denied Our signs and the meeting of the hereafter, their deeds will be nullified. Will they be rewarded except for what they used to do? 7.148 - And people of Musa took, after his departure, from their ornaments a calf, a body having a mooing sound. Did they not see that it could not speak to them nor guide them to a way? They took it while they were unjust. 7.149 - And when it fell before them and saw that they had strayed, they said: If our Lord does not grant us mercy and forgive us we will surely be of the losers. 7.150 - And when Musa returned to his people, angry and grieved, he said: Miserable is that which you have done after me; were you impatient over the command of your Lord? And he threw down the tablets and seized his brother by the head, pulling him toward him. He (Harun) said: Son of my mother! Indeed the people oppressed me and they were about to kill me, so let not the enemies rejoice over me, and do not count me among the unjust people.
