The Holy Quran Chapter 2 The Heifer (al-Baqarah) ( Today Verse 69 - 78 )
69 They said: Call on thy Lord for our sake to make it clear to us what her colour is. (Moses) said: He says, She is a yellow cow; her colour is intensely yellow delighting the beholders.
70 They said: Call on thy Lord for our sake to make it clear to us what she is, for surely to us the cows are all alike, and if Allah please we shall surely be guided aright.
71 (Moses) said: He says: She is a cow not made submissive to plough the land, nor does she water the tilth, sound, without a blemish in her. They said: Now thou hast brought the truth. So they slaughtered her, though they had not the mind to do (it).
72 And when you (almost) killed a man, then you disagreed about it. And Allah was to bring forth that which you were going to hide.
73 So We said: Smite him with it partially. Thus Allah brings the dead to life, and He shows you His signs that you may understand.
74 Then your hearts hardened after that, so that they were like rocks, rather worse in hardness. And surely there are some rocks from which streams burst forth; and there are some of them which split asunder so water flows from them; and there are some of them which fall down for the fear of Allah. And Allah is not heedless of what you do.
75 Do you then hope that they would believe in you, and a party from among them indeed used to hear the word of Allah, then altered it after they had understood it, and they know (this).
76 And when they meet those who believe they say, We believe, and when they are apart one with another they say: Do you talk to them of what Allah has disclosed to you that they may contend with you by this before your Lord? Do you not understand?
77 Do they not know that Allah knows what they keep secret and what they make known?
78 And some of them are illiterate; they know not the Book but only (from) hearsay, and they do but conjecture.
