* تفسير Tafsir al-Jalalayn

{ فَرَجَعَ مُوسَىٰ إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِ غَضْبَٰنَ أَسِفاً قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ أَلَمْ يَعِدْكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ وَعْداً حَسَناً أَفَطَالَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْعَهْدُ أَمْ أَرَدتُّمْ أَن يَحِلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ غَضَبٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ فَأَخْلَفْتُمْ مَّوْعِدِي }

Thereupon Moses returned to his people angry with them and sad extremely grieved. He said ‘O my people did not your Lord promise you a fair promise? that is a true promise that He will give you the Torah? Did the period the length of my absence from you seem too long for you or did you desire that wrath should become incumbent against you from your Lord by your worship of the golden calf and so you broke your tryst with me?’ and failed to follow after me?
