They said, "Call upon
your Lord for us to make plain to us what it is. Verily to us all cows are
alike, And surely, if Allâh wills, we will be
guided." (70) He [Mûsa (Moses)] said, "He says, 'It is a cow neither
trained to till the soil nor water the fields, sound, having no other colour
except bright yellow.' " They said, "Now you
have brought the truth." So they slaughtered it though they were near to
not doing it. (71) And (remember) when you killed a man and fell into dispute among
yourselves as to the crime. But Allâh brought forth that which you were hiding.
(72) So We
said: "Strike him (the dead man) with a piece of it (the cow)." Thus
Allâh brings the dead to life and shows you His Ayât (proofs, evidences,
verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) so that you may understand. (73) Then, after that,
your hearts were hardened and became as stones or even worse in hardness. And
indeed, there are stones out of which rivers gush
forth, and indeed, there are of them (stones) which split asunder so that water
flows from them, and indeed, there are of them (stones) which fall down for
fear of Allâh. And Allâh is not unaware of what you do. (74) Do you (faithful
believers) covet that they will believe in your religion inspite of the fact
that a party of them (Jewish rabbis) used to hear the Word of Allâh [the Taurât
(Torah)], then they used to change it knowingly after
they understood it? (75) And when they (Jews) meet those who believe (Muslims),
they say, "We believe", but when they meet one another in private,
they say, "Shall you (Jews) tell them (Muslims) what Allâh has revealed to
you [Jews, about the description and the qualities of Prophet Muhammad Peace be
upon him , that which are written in the Taurât (Torah)] [], that they
(Muslims) may argue with you (Jews) about it before your Lord?" Have you
(Jews) then no understanding? (76)
