Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Al-mizan an Exegesis of the Qur'an (volume One) Chapter 15 : 2:49-61 And when We delivered you from Pharaoh's people, who subjected you to severe torment, killing your sons and sparing your women, and in this there was a great trial from your Lord (49). And when We parted the sea for you, so We saved you and drowned the followers of Pharaoh while you watched by (50).

And when We appointed (a time of) forty nights with Mûsâ, then you took the calf (for a god) after him and you were unjust (51) ; then We pardoned you after that so that you might give thanks (52). And when We gave Mûsâ the book and the distinction that you might walk aright (53). And when Mûsâ said to his people: "O my peo­ple!

you have surely been unjust to yourselves by taking the calf (for a god), therefore turn to your Creator (penitently) and kill your people, that is best for you with your Creator; so He turned to you (mercifully), for surely He is the Oft­returning (with mercy), the Merciful" (54). And when you said: "O Mûsâ! we will not believe in you until we see Allâh manifestly, " so the punishment overtook you while you looked on (55); then We raised you up after your death that you may give thanks (56) .

And We made the clouds to give shade over you and We sent to you manna and quails: Eat of good things that We have given you; and they did not do Us any harm, but they did harm their own selves (57). And when We said: "Enter this city, then eat from it a plen­teous (food) wherever you wish, and enter the gate making obeisance, and say, forgiveness, We will forgive you your wrongs and give more to those who do good (to others) (58).

But those who were unjust changed it for a saying other than that which had been spoken to them, so We sent up­on those who were unjust a pestilence from heaven, be­cause they transgressed (59). And when Mûsâ prayed for drink for his people, We said: "Strike the rock with your staff. " So there gushed from it twelve springs; each tribe knew its drinking place: "Eat and drink of the provisions of Allâh and do not act corruptly in the land, making mis­chief" (60). And when you said: "O Mûsâ!

we cannot bear with one food, therefore pray to your Lord on our behalf to bring forth for us out of what the earth grows, of its herbs and its cucumbers and its garlic and its lentils and its onions. He said: "Will you exchange that which is better for that which is worse? Enter a city, so you will have what you ask for.
