Tafsir

What is said in the video
In verse 92 of Surah Ta-Ha as well: Say, O Aaron, he said, it says: O Aaron, when you saw them going astray, what prevented you? Now Moses (peace be upon him) is calling out to his brother Aaron. He said: O Aaron, when you saw them going astray, what prevented you? That is, why did you allow them this, he says, in one narration. Moses (peace be upon him), in a very angry state, seizes his brother Aaron by the beard, and while shaking him by the beard like this, he speaks like this. And Aaron says: O son of my mother, you are hurting me, let me go. When Moses returned among his people, he was both angry and sorrowful. In this state, unable to overcome his anger, he took hold of Aaron's hair and beard: When you saw them going astray, that is, when they left the right path and worshipped the calf, when they associated partners with Allah, what event held you back, so that you let these people leave the right path, he said.
