The People of the Scripture ask you to bring down to them a book from the heaven. But they had asked of Moses [even] greater than that and said, "Show us Allah outright," so the thunderbolt struck them for their wrongdoing. Then they took the calf [for worship] after clear evidences had come to them, and We pardoned that. And We gave Moses a clear authority.

{ يسألك } يا محمد { أهل الكتاب } اليهود { أن تنزِّل عليهم كتابا من السماء } جملة كما أنزل على موسى تعنتا فإن استكبرت ذلك { فقد سألوا } أي آباؤهم { موسى أكبر } أعظم { من ذلك فقالوا أرنا الله جهرة } عيانا { فأخذتهم الصاعقة } الموت عقابا لهم { بظلمهم } حيث تعتنوا في السؤال { ثم اتخذوا العجل } إلها { من بعد ما جاءتهم البينات } المعجزات على وحدانية الله { فعفونا عن ذلك } ولم نستأصلهم { وآتينا موسى سلطانا مبينا } تسلطا بينا ظاهرا عليهم حيث أمرهم بقتل أنفسهم توبة فأطاعوه .
