﴾90﴿ And indeed, Hārūn had said to them aforetime: “O my people! You have but been tested by it; verily your Lord is the Most Merciful[159]—so follow me and obey my command.”
[159] That is, your Lord is the Most Merciful—He it is Who shows you mercy and bestows upon you His manifest and hidden favours—not the calf that you are worshipping (cf. al-Ṭabarī, al-Qurṭubī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī).
Given that this sura—along with those immediately before and after it, namely Maryam and al-Anbiyā’—was revealed at roughly the same time during the early Makkan phase of the Prophetic mission (cf. the ḥadīth of ʿAbdullāh Ibn Masʿūd (h) cited in the Introduction above), and considering how central the theme of Divine mercy was to the fledgling yet sorely tested Muslim community, the invocation of this Most Beautiful Divine Name—the Most Merciful—at this point is likely an intentional intertextual echo of the preceding sura. Maryam, in particular, employs the Name al-Raḥmān with marked frequency and rhetorical force, weaving mercy into the very fabric of its message. Indeed, such intertextual resonances are found throughout this sura and its immediate neighbours, as we shall explore in their proper places.
Further, Abū Ḥayyān opines that he mentioned the Attribute of Mercy to signal that if they repented, God would accept them—and as a reminder that God, the Most Merciful, had delivered them from Pharaoh at a time when the calf had not yet existed.
