يَسْـَٔلُكَ أَهْلُ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ أَن تُنَزِّلَ عَلَيْهِمْ كِتَٰبًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَقَدْ سَأَلُوا۟ مُوسَىٰٓأَكْبَرَ مِن ذَٰلِكَ فَقَالُوٓا۟ أَرِنَا ٱللَّهَ جَهْرَةً فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّٰعِقَةُ بِظُلْمِهِمْ ثُمَّ ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ ٱلْعِجْلَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْهُمُ ٱلْبَيِّنَٰتُ فَعَفَوْنَا عَن ذَٰلِكَوَءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ سُلْطَٰنًا مُّبِينًا 153

153. The People of the Scripture ask of thee that thou
shouldst cause an (actual) Book to descend upon them from heaven; they asked
a greater thing of Moses aforetime, for they said: Show us Allah plainly; the
storm of lightning seized them for their wickedness. Then (even) after that,
they chose the calf (for worship) after clear proofs (of Allah’s Sovereignty)
had come unto them; even then We forgave them that! And We bestowed on Moses
evident authority.

Commentary
‘Ari – (Show), this word has
been made from ru-yah. Ru-yah means ‘to see’ and ‘araa-‘ah means ‘to show’.
‘As-saa-‘iqatu – (Lightening, heavenly electricity), it is
from sa-‘aq, which means
‘to come down with force, to fall with pressure, to drop down unconsciously and
instantly, to perish. Here it signifies towards lightning which falls with
thunder.
In Madinah, some people of the
Jews came unto Messenger Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon Him). They said,
“Bring a written complete Scripture from the heaven instantly, if you are
Messenger, as though Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) had brought complete
Torah instantly. We are not convinced with such a Book, which is being revealed
in very little parts. “. These verses were revealed as answer to their demand”.
This description has been mentioned in this entire section.
In short, these all are their
(of the Jews) evasions and pretenses. These people remained very much arrogant
with Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon them). Ask them, “Why did you not
believe in Moses (peace be upon him) after that, when He came unto you with
complete Torah; revealed instantly and proposed a demand like ill-behaved
people? In addition to this, you committed improper and stupid actions of
various sorts”.
Allah Almighty addresses to His Messenger
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), “Now they behave with you also
likewise aforetime Messengers (peace be upon them). We tell you their rudeness
with earlier Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon them) and some stupid
deeds. They are very wicked and mischievous people. They were punished by
various sorts. Due to fear of those chastisements, they used to accept some
commandments, but after that they used to be as it were. As a punishment of the
arrogance, lightening fell upon them and they died. Then due to supplication of
Messenger Moses (peace be upon him) they returned to life. But they did not
believe in God Almighty even after observing so much great tokens and began to
worship a self-fabricated calf. Even then, they were forgiven and against them;
Moses (peace be upon him) was glorified.
