regarding Aaron, the brother of Moses (peace be upon them both), concerning his not rebuking the Children of Israel when they took the calf? Unclear

The questioner : Regarding Aaron (peace be upon him) and his not rebuking the Children of Israel when they took the calf as a god?

The Shaykh : Responding to them is easy. As for the first verse, Aaron feared that, but what is said is that it happens. Who said that it would happen if he called them? But in reality, they refused him and said So he knew that they were arrogant. And as for this is not evidence that a person should not call [people to the truth], but rather it is evidence that these people to whom Salih was sent divided, just as people divided in the call of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), some of whom believed and some of whom disbelieved.
