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 They said: "We will not stop worshipping it (i.e. the calf), until Musa (Moses) returns to us." 91 Moses said, 'What prevented thee, Aaron, when thou sawest them in error, 92 So that you did not follow me? Did you then disobey my order? 93 Aaron said, "Son of my mother! Do not seize me by my beard nor by my head. I was afraid that you would say, 'You have caused dissension among the Children of Israel and did not pay heed to my words.'" 94 (Moses) said: "What then is thy case, O Samiri?" 95 (Samiri) said: "I saw what they saw not, so I took a handful (of dust) from the hoof print of the messenger [Jibrael's (Gabriel) horse] and threw it [into the fire in which were put the ornaments of the Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people, or into the calf]. Thus my inner-self suggested to me." 96 Moses said: "Be gone, then. All your life you shall cry: 'Untouchable.' There awaits a term for your reckoning that you cannot fail to keep. Now look at your god that you devotedly adored: We shall burn it and scatter its remains in the sea. 97 Your Allah is only Allah, there is no god but He; He comprehends all things in (His) knowledge. 98 Thus do We narrate some account to you of what has gone before, and We have truly given you a Reminder of Our own. 99 He who turns away from it will surely bear a heavy burden on the Day of Resurrection, 100 They will remain in it forever – what an evil burden it will be for them on the Day of Resurrection! 101 On the day when the Trumpet is blown and We shall assemble the guilty on that day, blue -eyed. 102 and they shall murmur among themselves: 'You have stayed away but ten (days and nights)' 103 We know best what they say, when the fairest of them in course would say: You tarried but a day. 104
