\n (Imam Hassan Al-Askari -asws said: \u2018And he -asws said: \u2018The Children of Israel, when Musa -as returned to them \u2013 and they had already worshipped the calf \u2013 they met him -as with the retracting from that.

So Musa -as said to them: \u2018Who is the one who worshipped it from you until a Judgment of Allah -azwj was Implemented with regards to it?\u2019 They feared from the Judgment of Allah -azwj which had been Implemented regarding them, so they rejected that they happened to have worshipped it, and each one of them went on to say, \u2018I did not worship it. But rather, others worshipped it\u2019. And they maligned (slandered) each other.
