Quran 2:65 — The Heifer (Al-Baqarah)

You have known about those among you who desecrated the Sabbath. We said to them, "Be you as despicable as apes."

[2:64] But you turned away thereafter, and if it were not for GOD's grace towards you and His mercy, you would have been doomed.

[2:66] We set them up as an example for their generation, as well as subsequent generations, and an enlightenment for the righteous.
