یَسۡـَٔلُکَ اَہۡلُ الۡکِتٰبِ اَنۡ تُنَزِّلَ عَلَیۡہِمۡ کِتٰبًا مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ فَقَدۡ سَاَلُوۡا مُوۡسٰۤی اَکۡبَرَ مِنۡ ذٰلِکَ فَقَالُوۡۤا اَرِنَا اللّٰہَ جَہۡرَۃً فَاَخَذَتۡہُمُ الصّٰعِقَۃُ بِظُلۡمِہِمۡ ۚ ثُمَّ اتَّخَذُوا الۡعِجۡلَ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَتۡہُمُ الۡبَیِّنٰتُ فَعَفَوۡنَا عَنۡ ذٰلِکَ ۚ وَ اٰتَیۡنَا مُوۡسٰی سُلۡطٰنًا مُّبِیۡنًا ﴿۱۵۳﴾

153. (Esteemed Prophet!) The People of the Book demand you to make a Book come down to them from heaven (in written form). But they had asked Musa (Moses) for greater than that when they said: ‘Show us Allah openly.’ So the thunderbolt overtook them for their wrongdoing. Then they adopted the calf (as their false god) after all the clear proofs had come to them, but We pardoned that (after their repentance). And We gave Musa (Moses) a clear authority.
