وَإِذْ
أَخَذْنَا
مِيثَاقَكُمْ
وَرَفَعْنَا
فَوْقَكُمُ
الطُّورَ
خُذُوا
مَا
آتَيْنَاكُم
بِقُوَّةٍ
وَاسْمَعُوا
قَالُوا
سَمِعْنَا
وَعَصَيْنَا
وَأُشْرِبُوا
فِي
قُلُوبِهِمُ
الْعِجْلَ
بِكُفْرِهِمْ
قُلْ
بِئْسَمَا
يَأْمُرُكُم
بِهِ
إِيمَانُكُمْ
إِن
كُنتُم
مُّؤْمِنِينَ

(Children of Israel) when We made a covenant with you, raised Mount Tur (Sinai) above you, and told you to receive devotedly what We had revealed to you and to listen to it, you said that you had listened but you disobeyed. They denied the truth and became totally devoted and full of love for the calf. (Muhammad) tell these people, "If, in fact, you are true believers, then what your faith commands you to do is evil."
