Quran 20:88 Tafsir Al-Jalalayn
Then he produced for them a calf which he fashioned from the melted trinkets — a mere body of flesh and blood with a low in other words it made a sound that was audible; it was transformed into such a state because of the dust from Gabriel’s steed the effect of which is to create life in whatever thing it is placed. After he had fashioned it he placed it the dust in its mouth. And they namely the Samaritan and his followers said ‘This is your God and the God of Moses so he Moses forgot’ his Lord here and set off in search of him. God exalted be He says
Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
And he fashioned it -the melted gold- in the shape of a calfs body -like the bull of Osiris in the city of Memphis, Egypt- which mowed like cattle when down wind. No sooner did they see a golden Calf emitting a sound than they forgot Allah Who delivered them and gave themselves up to the calf as the object of worship saying to each other: This is your Ilah, the Ilah of Mussa whom he forgot, and by consequence he missed his way
Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
( Then he produced for them ) from the gold they threw in the Fire, al-Samiri made for them ( a calf, of saffron hue ) a small form without a spirit, ( which gave forth a lowing sound. And they cried ) what is this? And al-Samiri said: ( This is your God and the God of Moses, but he hath forgotten ) al-Samiri abandoned Allah’s worship and command; it is also said that this means: Moses left the way and took a wrong turn.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
Then he took out (of the fire) for them a statue of a calf which seemed to low. They said: "This is your ilah (god), and the ilah (god) of Musa (Moses), but [Musa (Moses)] has forgotten (his god).'"
We try our best to translate, keeping in mind the Italian saying: "Traduttore, traditore", which means: "Translation is a betrayal of the original text".
