Aaron had already, before this said to them: "O my people! ye are being tested in this: for verily your Lord is (Allah) Most Gracious; so follow me and obey my command." 90 They said, "We will never cease being devoted to the calf until Moses returns to us." 91 Moses said to Aaron, "What prevented you, when you saw that they had gone astray, 92 "From following me? Didst thou then disobey my order?" 93 Harun said: O my mother's son! hold me not by my beard nor by my head, verily I feared that thou wouldst say, thou hast caused a division among the Children of Israel and hast not guarded my word. 94 Said [Moses]: "What, then, didst thou have in view, O Samaritan?" 95 He answered: "I saw what the people did not see. So I took a handful of dust from the trail of the Messenger, and I flung it (into the fire). Thus did my mind prompt me." 96 (Moses) said: "Get thee gone! but thy (punishment) in this life will be that thou wilt say, 'touch me not'; and moreover (for a future penalty) thou hast a promise that will not fail: Now look at thy god, of whom thou hast become a devoted worshipper: We will certainly (melt) it in a blazing fire and scatter it broadcast in the sea!" 97 Your god is only Allah, except for whom there is no deity. He has encompassed all things in knowledge." 98 (O Muhammad), thus do We recount to you the events of the past, and We have bestowed upon you from Ourself an admonition. 99 Whoever turns away from it - then indeed, he will bear on the Day of Resurrection a burden, 100 with which he will live forever. On the Day of Judgment it will be a terrible load for him to carry. 101 The day the trumpet blast is sounded We shall raise the sinners blind, 102 Whispering to one another: "You have tarried but ten days." 103 We know well what they will say. The most just among them in the matter will declare: 'You have stayed away but one day' 104
