{And (remember) when Musa (Moses) said to his people: "Verily, Allah commands you that you slaughter a cow." They said, "Do you make fun of us?" He said, "I take Allah's Refuge from being among Al- Jahilun (the ignorant or the foolish). " They said, "Call upon your Lord for us that He may make plain to us what it is!" He said, "He says:

Suka ce, "Ka roƙi Ubangijinka a gare mu, ya bayyana mana menene ita. Lalle saniyoyi duk sun yi mana kama. Kuma lalle, in Allah ya so, za mu shiryu."

'Verily, it is a cow neither too old nor too young, but (it is) between the two conditions', so do what you are commanded " They said, "Call upon your Lordfor us to make plain to us its color." He said, "He says: 'It is a yellow cow, bright in its color, pleasing the beholders.” They said, "Call upon your Lord for us to make plain to us what it is. Verily, to us all cows are alike. And surely, if Allah wills, we will be guided." He [Musa (Moses)] said, "He says: 'It is a cow neither trained to tilt the soil nor water the fields, sound, having no other color except bright yellow. ' "They said, "Now you have brought the truth." So they slaughtered it though they were near to not doing it. And (remember) when you killed a man and fell into dispute among yourselves as to the crime.

Amma Allah ya fitar da abin da kuke ɓoyewa. Sai Muka ce: "Ku bugi mamacin da wani sashe na ita (saniyar)." Haka Allah yake rayar da matattu, kuma yana nuna muku ayoyinsa (hujjoji, shaidu, ayoyi, darussa, alamomi, wahayi, da sauransu) domin ku fahimta}. (Al-Baqara, 67-73)

ButAllah brought forth that which you were hiding. So We said: "Strike him (the dead man) with a piece of it (the cow)." Thus Allah brings the dead to life and shows you His Aya: (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) so that you may understand}. (Al-Baqarah, 67- 73)

'Abdullah Ibn 'Abbas, `Ubaidah As-Salmani, Abu Al-`Aliyah, Mujahid, As- Sadiy and other earlier scholars said: An old man from among the Children of Israel was very rich, and he had some nephews who wished he would die soon to inherit him. One day, one of them on purpose murdered him at night and threw him on the road -or at the door of one of his own brothers. In the morning, the people found the dead body and they disputed over him. His nephew -the murderer -came and began to weep and cry. Some people said:

Why do you dispute over him? Why do you not go to Allah's Prophet (ﷺ)? His nephew came and complained to Musa (Moses (Peace be upon him)). Musa (Peace be upon him) said: by Allah! Anyone who knows anything about this murdered man, he should let us know. But no one knew anything about it. Thereupon, they asked Musa (Peace be upon him) to ask his Lord concerning this issue. Musa (Peace be upon him) asked his Lord and he was commanded to order them to slaughter a cow, {Verily, Allah commands you that you slaughter a cow. They said, Do you make fun of us?} i.e. we ask you about the murdered and you say so! {He said, I take Allah's Refuge from being among Al-Jahilun (the ignorant or the foolish)} i.e. I take Allah's Refuge from saying other than that He revealed to me; and that was His Answer to what you had wanted me to ask Him. Hausa translation: Me yasa kuke jayayya a kansa? Don me ba ku je wurin Manzon Allah (ﷺ) ba? Ɗan ɗan'uwansa ya zo ya koka wa Musa (Moses (Peace be upon him)). Musa (Peace be upon him) ya ce: Na rantse da Allah! Duk wanda ya san wani abu game da wannan mutumin da aka kashe, ya sanar da mu. Amma babu wanda ya san komai game da shi.

Why do you dispute over him? Why do not you go to Allah's Prophet (Peace be upon him)? His nephew came and complained to Musa (Moses (Peace be upon him». Musa (Peace be upon him) said: by Allah! Anyone who knows anything about this murdered man, he should let us know. But, no one knew anything about it. Thereupon, they asked Musa (Peace be upon him) to ask his Lord concerning this issue. Musa (Peace be upon him) asked his Lord and he was commanded to order them to slaughter a cow, {Verily, Allah commands you that you slaughter a cow. They said, Do you make fun of us?} i.e. we ask you about the murdered and you say so! {He said, I take Allah's Refuge from being among Al-Jahilun (the ignorant or the foolish)} i.e. I take Allah's Refuge from saying other than that He revealed to me; and that was His Answer to what you had wanted me to ask Him.

Ibn 'Abbas, 'Ubaidah, Mujahid, 'Ikrimah, As-Sadiy, Abu Al-'Aliyah da wasu malamai sun ce: Idan da sun yanka kowace saniya, da sun cika abin da aka umarce su da shi.

Ibn 'Abbas,'Ubaidah, Mujahid, `Ikrimah, As-Sadiy, Abu Al-`Aliyah and others said: If they were to slaughter any cow, they would fulfill the purpose thereof.

Amma su kansu suka sa wa kansu wahala (ta hanyar yin tambayoyi da yawa a kan hakan), don haka Allah Maɗaukakin Sarki ya sa musu wahala (ta hanyar shimfiɗa sharuɗɗa da yawa ga shanun da ake so). Sun tambaya game da siffarta, launinta da shekarunta; sai aka amsa musu da abin da yake ƙaranci kuma mai tsada (ta yadda zai yi musu wahala su same shi). Abin da ake nufi shi ne an umarce su da kada su yanka saniya da ta tsufa sosai, ko kuma wadda ta yi ƙanƙanta sosai, sai dai (tana) tsakanin sharuɗɗan biyu.

But, they made it difficult for themselves (by asking so many questions thereof), and thus Allah the Almighty made it difficult for them (by stipulating so many conditions for the desired cow). They asked about its description, color and age; and they were answered with what was scarce and dear (in a way to make it hard for them to find it). The point is that they were commanded to slaughter neither a too old cow, nor a too young, but (it is) between the two conditions.

Wannan ra'ayi Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid, Abu Al-`Aliyah, `Ikrimah, Al-Hasan, Qatadah da wasu sun riƙe shi. Sa'an nan, sun matsa wa kansu da tambayoyinsu ta hanyar tambaya game da launinsa. Aka amsa musu da cewa ta zama {saniya rawaya, mai haske a launinta, abin farantawa ga masu kallo}, wadda ba ta cika samuwa ba kuma tana da daraja ƙwarai.

This view was held by Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid, Abu Al-`Aliyah, `Ikrimah, Al-Hasan, Qatadah and others. Then, they pressed themselves with their questions through asking about its color. And they were answered to make it {yellow cow, bright in its color, pleasing the beholders}, which is very rare and dear.

Sai suka tambaya: {Suka ce, "Ka roƙi Ubangijinka a madadinmu, ya bayyana mana abin da yake. Lalle shanu sun dameta a gare mu. Kuma lalle mu, in Allah ya so, to za mu shiryu." Ya ce, "Yana cewa: 'Saniya ce wadda ba a koya mata noma ƙasa ko shayar da gonaki ba, lafiyayya, ba ta da wani launi sai rawaya mai haske." Suka ce, "Yanzu ka kawo gaskiya." Sai suka yanka ta, alhali kuwa sun kusa ba za su yanka ba}. An ce, ba su sami saniya mai dukan waɗannan siffofi ba, sai dai wani mutum mai adalci, mai kyautatawa ga mahaifinsa.

Then, they asked: {They said, "Call upon your Lord for us to make plain to us what it is. Verily, to us all cows are alike. And surely, if Allah wills, we will be guided." He [Musa (Moses)] said, "He says: 'It is a cow neither trained to tilt the soil nor water the fields, sound, having no other color except bright yellow.' "They said, "Now you have brought the truth." So they slaughtered it though they were near to not doing it}. It is said that they could not find a cow with all these descriptions but with a man who was righteous and good to his father. They asked him to submit it to them, but he refused. They tried to seduce him as to its price till they offered him what equals its wieght in gold. But, he refused. Then, they offered him an amount of gold that equals its weight ten-times. Finally, he accepted their offer and submitted it to them. Then, Musa (Peace be upon him) commanded them to slaughter it {So they slaughtered it though they were near to not doing it} i.e. while they were hesitant.

Sannan, Musa (amincin Allah ya tabbata a gare shi) ya umarce su, bisa umarnin Allah, da su buge mamacin da wani yanki na saniyar. Wasu malamai sun ce: da wani ɓangare na ƙashin cinyarta, ko kuma da wani ɓangare na naman da ke tsakanin kafaɗunta. Lokacin da suka buge shi da wani ɓangare daga cikinta, sai Allah Maɗaukakin Sarki ya tayar da shi. Musa (amincin Allah ya tabbata a gare shi) ya tambaye shi: wane ne ya kashe ka? Ya ce: ɗan ɗan'uwana ne ya kashe ni. Sai ya sake mutuwa. Allah Maɗaukakin Sarki ya ce {Haka Allah yake raya matattu, yana nuna muku ayoyinsa (hujjojinsa, alamominsa, darussa, saƙonninsa) domin ku fahimta}, watau kamar yadda kuka shaida tayar da wannan mamaci bisa umarnin Allah Maɗaukakin Sarki, haka kuma Yana iya yin hakan ga dukan matattu idan Ya so. Shi, Allah Maɗaukaki, ya ce {Halittar ku baki ɗaya da tayar da ku baki ɗaya ba komai ba ne face kamar (halittar da tayarwar) mutum ɗaya. Lalle Allah Mai ji ne, Mai gani ne}. (Luqman, 28)

Then, Musa (Peace be upon him) instructed them with the Command of Allah to strike the dead man with a piece of the cow. Some scholars said: with part of its thighbone, or with part of the flesh between its shoulders. When they stroke him with part thereof, he was resurrected by Allah the Almighty. Musa (Peace be upon him) asked him: who's your murderer? He said: it was my nephew who killed me. Then, he died again. Allah the Almighty says {Thus Allah brings the dead to life and shows you His Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) so that you may understand} i.e. as you witnessed the revival of that dead man by the Command of Allah the Almighty, He can do the same to all the dead people when He wishes to. He, Almighty Allah, says {The creation of you all and the resurrection of you all are only as (the creation and resurrection of) a single person. Verily, Allah is All-Hearer, All-Seer}. (Luqman, 28)
