Al-Baqarah 2: 52–5

and then you set up the calf as your god in his absence. You indeed committed a grave wrong. (52) Yet We pardoned you that you might be grateful.

(53) And recall (that while you were committing this wrong) We gave Moses the Scripture and the Criterion22 that you are guided to the Right Way.

(54) And recall when (on returning with this favour) Moses said to his people: “My people! You have wronged yourselves by taking the calf for an object of worship, so turn in repentance to your Creator and kill yourselves.23 This will be best for you in your Creator ’s sight.” Thereupon He accepted your repentance. Indeed He is Much-Relenting, Most Compassionate.

(55) And recall when you said: “O Moses, we will not believe in you until we clearly see Allah (speaking to you).” ▶
