وَلَقَدْ قَالَ لَهُمْ هَٰرُونُ مِن قَبْلُ يَٰقَوْمِ إِنَّمَا فُتِنتُم بِهِۦ ۖ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ فَٱتَّبِعُونِى وَأَطِيعُوٓا۟ أَمْرِى

سُورَةُ طه
English — Sahih International
And Aaron had already told them before [the return of Moses], "O my people, you are only being tested by it, and indeed, your Lord is the Most Merciful, so follow me and obey my order."
اردو — مودودی
ہارونؑ (موسیٰؑ کے آنے سے) پہلے ہی ان سے کہہ چکا تھا کہ "لوگو، تم اِس کی وجہ سے فتنے میں پڑ گئے ہو، تمہارا رب تو رحمٰن ہے، پس تم میری پیروی کرو اور میری بات مانو"
Bahasa Indonesia — Kemenag
Dan sesungguhnya Harun telah berkata kepada mereka sebelumnya: "Hai kaumku, sesungguhnya kamu hanya diberi cobaan dengan anak lembu. itu dan sesungguhnya Tuhanmu ialah (Tuhan) Yang Maha Pemurah, maka ikutilah aku dan taatilah perintahku".
Ibn Kathir
Harun prohibits them from worship of Calf and the Persistence of the Children of Israel in doing so
Allah, the Exalted, informs of Harun's attempt to prohibit them from worshipping the calf and his telling them that this was only a test for them. He told them that their Lord was the Most Beneficent, Who created everything and decreed for everything its just measure. He is the Owner of the Mighty Throne, the One Who does whatever He wants.
فَاتَّبِعُونِى وَأَطِيعُواْ أَمْرِى
(so follow me and obey my order.) Meaning, "Follow me in that which I am commanding you with and leave that which I forbid you from."
قَالُواْ لَن نَّبْرَحَ عَلَيْهِ عَـكِفِينَ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَيْنَا مُوسَى
(They said: "We will not stop worshipping it, until Musa returns to us.") meaning, "We will not cease in our worship of this calf until we hear what Musa has to say about it." So they opposed Harun in this matter and they fought against him, nearly killing him.

ولقد قال هارون لبني إسرائيل من قبل رجوع موسى إليهم: يا قوم إنما اختُبرتم بهذا العجل؛ ليظهر المؤمن منكم من الكافر، وإن ربكم الرحمن لا غيره فاتبعوني فيما أدعوكم إليه من عبادة الله، وأطيعوا أمري في اتباع شرعه.
