فَجَعَلۡنَٰهَا نَكَٰلٗا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهَا وَمَا خَلۡفَهَا وَمَوۡعِظَةٗ لِّلۡمُتَّقِينَ
Nous fîmes donc de cela un exemple pour les villes qui l'entouraient alors et une exhortation pour les pieux
Al-Jalalayn — Al-Jalalayn
And We made it this punishment an exemplary punishment a lesson to dissuade others from doing what they did; for all the former times and for the latter that is for the people of that time or those that came later; and an admonition to such as who fear God these are singled out for mention here because they in contrast to others are the ones who benefit thereby.
وَإِذۡ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوۡمِهِۦٓ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَأۡمُرُكُمۡ أَن تَذۡبَحُواْ بَقَرَةٗۖ قَالُوٓاْ أَتَتَّخِذُنَا هُزُوٗاۖ قَالَ أَعُوذُ بِٱللَّهِ أَنۡ أَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡجَٰهِلِينَ
(Et rappelez-vous) lorsque Moïse dit à son peuple: «Certes Allah vous ordonne d'immoler une vache». Ils dirent: «Nous prends-tu en moquerie?» «Qu'Allah me garde d'être du nombre des ignorants» dit-il
Al-Jalalayn — Al-Jalalayn
And mention when Moses said to his people when one among them was killed and the killer was not known and so they asked Moses to pray to God to reveal the killer which he did; ‘God commands you to sacrifice a cow’. They said ‘Do you take us in mockery?’ that is making fun of us when you answer us like this? He said ‘I take refuge with I seek defence with God lest I should be one of the ignorant’ one of those who indulge in mockery.
قَالُواْ ٱدۡعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ يُبَيِّن لَّنَا مَا هِيَۚ قَالَ إِنَّهُۥ يَقُولُ إِنَّهَا بَقَرَةٞ لَّا فَارِضٞ وَلَا بِكۡرٌ عَوَانُۢ بَيۡنَ ذَٰلِكَۖ فَٱفۡعَلُواْ مَا تُؤۡمَرُونَ
Ils dirent: «Demande pour nous à ton Seigneur qu'Il nous précise ce qu'elle doit être». - Il dit: «Certes Allah dit que c'est bien une vache, ni vieille ni vierge, d'un âge moyen, entre les deux. Faites donc ce qu'on vous commande»
Al-Jalalayn — Al-Jalalayn
But when they realised that he was being serious They said ‘Pray to your Lord for us that He may make clear to us what she may be’ its true nature He Moses said ‘He God says she is a cow neither old nor virgin that is young middling between the two in terms of age; so do what you have been commanded’ by way of sacrificing it.
قَالُواْ ٱدۡعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ يُبَيِّن لَّنَا مَا لَوۡنُهَاۚ قَالَ إِنَّهُۥ يَقُولُ إِنَّهَا بَقَرَةٞ صَفۡرَآءُ فَاقِعٞ لَّوۡنُهَا تَسُرُّ ٱلنَّـٰظِرِينَ
Ils dirent: «Demande donc pour nous à ton Seigneur qu'Il nous précise sa couleur». - Il dit: «Allah dit que c'est une vache jaune, de couleur vive et plaisante à voir»
Al-Jalalayn — Al-Jalalayn
They said ‘Pray to your Lord for us that He make clear to us what her colour may be’ He said ‘He says she shall be a golden cow bright in colour that is of a very intense yellow gladdening to beholders its beauty will please those that look at it.
قَالُواْ ٱدۡعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ يُبَيِّن لَّنَا مَا هِيَ إِنَّ ٱلۡبَقَرَ تَشَٰبَهَ عَلَيۡنَا وَإِنَّآ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَمُهۡتَدُونَ
Ils dirent: «Demande pour nous à ton Seigneur qu'Il nous précise ce qu'elle est car pour nous, les vaches se confondent. Mais, nous y serions certainement bien guidés, si Allah le veut»
Al-Jalalayn — Al-Jalalayn
They said ‘Pray to your Lord for us that He make clear to us what she may be does it graze freely or is it used in labour?; the cows that is the species described in the way mentioned are all alike to us because there are many of them and we have not been able to find the one sought after; and if God wills we shall then be guided’ to it. In one hadīth it is reported ‘Had they not uttered the proviso inshā’a Llāh it would never have been made clear to them’.
