"உமது இறைவனிடத்தில் எங்களுக்காக பிரார்த்தனை செய்வீராக! அவன் அது எப்படிப்பட்டது என்பதை எங்களுக்கு தெளிவு படுத்துவான். எங்களுக்கு எல்லாப் பசுமாடுகளும் திடனாக ஒரே மாதிரியாகத் தோன்றுகின்றன, அல்லாஹ் நாடினால் நிச்சயமாக நாம் நேர்வழி பெறுவோம்" என்று அவர்கள் கூறினார்கள்.

Tafsir of 2:70

The Stubbornness of the Jews regarding the Cow; Allah made the Matter difficult for Them Allah mentioned the stubbornness of the Children of Israel and the many unnecessary questions they asked their Messengers.

Instead, they made the matter difficult, and this is why Allah made it even more difficult for them. They said, ادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ يُبَيِّنَ لَّنَا مَا هِىَ (Call upon your Lord for us that He may make plain to us what it is!), meaning, "What is this cow and what is its description" Musa said, إِنَّهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّهَا بَقَرَةٌ لاَّ فَارِضٌ وَلاَ بِكْرٌ (He says, `Verily, it is a cow neither too old nor too young'), meaning, that it is neither old nor below the age of breeding. This is the opinion of Abu Al-`Aliyah, As-Suddi, Mujahid, `Ikrimah, `Atiyah Al-`Awfi, `Ata', Al-Khurasani, Wahb bin Munabbih, Ad-Dahhak, Al-Hasan, Qatadah and Ibn `Abbas.…
