Aaron had indeed told them earlier: "O my people, you are being only misled with this. Surely your Lord is Ar-Rahman. So follow me and obey my command." 90 They said: we shall by no means cease to be assiduous to it until there returneth to us Musa. 91 Moses said, 'What prevented thee, Aaron, when thou sawest them in error, 92 "From following me? Didst thou then disobey my order?" 93 "O son of my mother," (Aaron cried), do not pull me by my beard or my hair!

Their eyes will turn blue with terror 102 They will slowly talk to each other and say, "Our life on earth was as short as ten days". 103 We are Best Aware of what they utter when their best in conduct say: Ye have tarried but a day. 104
