The Holy Quran 20:85 — Surah Taha

Arabic text

قَالَ فَإِنَّا قَدْ فَتَنَّا قَوْمَكَ مِنۢ بَعْدِكَ وَأَضَلَّهُمُ ٱلسَّامِرِىُّ

Translation

He (Allaah) said, "Indeed, We have tested (tempted)your people after you (had left) and Saamiri has led them astray (by making the golden calf and encouraging them to worship it)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

For it was through his seduction and misguidance that the Children of Israel began worshipping the calf in the absence of Musa ﵇. This story has already passed in Surah Al-A'raf. (Note.)
