Surah Al-Baqara
And [recall] when Moses said to his people, "O my people, indeed you have wronged yourselves by your taking of the calf [for worship]. So repent to your Creator and kill yourselves. That is best for [all of] you in the sight of your Creator." Then He accepted your repentance; indeed, He is the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful.﴿54﴾

Simplified Tafsir
واذكروا نعمتنا عليكم حين قال موسى لقومه: إنكم ظلمتم أنفسكم باتخاذكم العجل إلهًا، فتوبوا إلى خالقكم: بأن يَقْتل بعضكم بعضًا، وهذا خير لكم عند خالقكم من الخلود الأبدي في النار، فامتثلتم ذلك، فمنَّ الله عليكم بقَبول توبتكم. إنه تعالى هو التواب لمن تاب مِن عباده، الرحيم بهم.
