Aaron had said to them before: 'My nation, you have been tempted by it. Your Lord is the Merciful. Follow me and obey my order' 90 [But] they answered: "By no means shall we cease to worship it until Moses comes back to us!" 91 [And now that he had come back, Moses] said: "O Aaron! What has prevented thee, when thou didst see that they had gone astray, 92 from following me? Why did you disobey my command?" 93 'Son of my mother' he replied, 'Do not seize my beard nor my head. I was afraid that you might say: "You have divided the Children of Israel and did not uphold my word." 94 'You, Samaritan' said he (Moses), 'what was your business' 95 'I beheld what they beheld not,' he said, 'and I seized a handful of dust from the messenger's track, and cast it into the thing. So my soul prompted me.' 96 (Moses) said: Then go! and lo! in this life it is for thee to say: Touch me not! and lo! there is for thee a tryst thou canst not break. Now look upon thy god of which thou hast remained a votary. Verily we will burn it and will scatter its dust over the sea. 97 Your god is only God. There is no other god but He. His knowledge extends over everything." 98 And so We narrate to you the stories of the past, and We have given you a remembrance from Us. 99 Whoever turns away from it will surely carry a burden on the Day of Judgement, 100 They will abide in this (state): and grievous will the burden be to them on that Day,- 101 The Day when the Trumpet will be sounded: that Day, We shall gather the sinful, blear-eyed (with terror). 102 In whispers will they speak to each other (saying): "You stayed not longer than ten (days)." 103 We are the Best Knower of that which they will say, when the best of them in judgment will say: ye tarried not save for a day. 104
