[ Allah ] said, "But indeed, We have tried your people after you [departed], and the Samiri has led them astray."

Tafsir of "Ibn Kathir" (English)

(Allah) said:"Verily, We have tried your people in your absence, and As-Samiri has led them astray."Allah informs His Prophet, Musa, of what happened to the Children of Israel after he left them, and their deification of the calf that As-Samiri had made for them.During this time period, Allah wrote for Musa the Tablets, which contained the Tawrah.Allah said,وَكَتَبْنَا لَهُ فِى الاٌّلْوَاحِ مِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ مَّوْعِظَةً وَتَفْصِيلً لِّكُلِّ شَىْءٍ فَخُذْهَا بِقُوَّةٍ وَأْمُرْ قَوْمَكَ يَأْخُذُواْ بِأَحْسَنِهَا سَأُوْرِيكُمْ دَارَ الْفَـسِقِينَ And We wrote for him on the Tablets the lesson to be drawn from all things and the explanation for all things (and said):"Hold unto these with firmness, and enjoin your people to take the better therein. I shall show you the home of evildoers." (7:145)This means, "I will show you the final outcome of what will happen to those who abandon My obedience and oppose My command."Concerning Allah's statement
