Musa picked up the Tablets when His Anger subsided

Allah said next,

وَلَمَّا سَكَتَ

(And when calmed) and subsided,

عَن مُّوسَى الْغَضَبُ

(the anger of Musa) with his people,

أَخَذَ الاٌّلْوَاحَ

(he took up the Tablets), which he had thrown out of jealousy for Allah and anger for His sake, because of his people worshipping the calf,

وَفِى نُسْخَتِهَا هُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِرَبِّهِمْ يَرْهَبُونَ

(and in their inscription was guidance and mercy for those who fear their Lord.) Several scholars of Tafsir said that when Musa threw the Tablets on the ground they were shattered and he collected the pieces afterwards. Musa found in its inscription guidance and mercy, but the specific details of the Law was lost, so they said. They also claimed that the shattered pieces of the Tablets still remained in the treasury safes of some Israelite kings until the Islamic State came into existence. Only Allah knows if these statements are true.

Успокоившись и оценив обстановку, Муса взялся за самое важное из того, что ему предстояло сделать. Он поднял скрижали, которые бросил в гневе. Это были величественные и ценные откровения, содержащие верное руководство и милость. Они разъясняли разницу между прямым путем и заблуждением, между истиной и ложью, между праведными поступками и злодеяниями. Они указывали прямой путь к праведным деяниям, высокой нравственности и добропорядочному поведению. Они несли милость и счастье каждому, кто выполнял записанные в них заповеди, изучал ниспосланные в них предписания и постигал их глубокий смысл; кто повиновался Аллаху словом и делом и испытывал страх перед Ним. Что же касается тех, кто не опасался Аллаха и не боялся предстать перед Ним, то ниспосланные откровения заставляли их с еще большей надменностью отвергать истину и убегать от нее. Вместе с тем они лишали их возможности оправдаться перед Аллахом собственной неосведомленностью.

Maʿārif al-Qur'ān

Mufti Shafi Usmani, English

The verse 154 describes that the Prophet Musa (علیہ السلام) lifted up the tablets of the Torah which contained guidance and blessing for those who feared Allah. The Arabic word: نُسخَہ 'Nuskha' rendered as contents signifies a writing copied from a book or other writings. There are certain reports that inform us that the tablets had broken at the time the Prophet Musa (علیہ السلام) had put them away quickly. This time Allah gave him the Torah written on some other material.
