And Aaron indeed had told them beforehand: O my people! Ye are but being seduced therewith, for lo! your Lord is the Beneficent, so follow me and obey my order. 90 They said, "We shall continue worshipping the calf until Moses comes back." 91 Moses said, 'What prevented thee, Aaron, when thou sawest them in error, 92 from following after me, did you disobey my order' 93 He [Harun (Aaron)] said: "O son of my mother! Seize (me) not by my beard, nor by my head! Verily, I feared lest you should say: 'You have caused a division among the Children of Israel, and you have not respected my word!' " 94 [Moses] said, "And what is your case, O Samiri?" 95 He said: "I saw what they did not see. I picked up a handful of dust from the messenger's tracks and threw it in, for the idea seemed attractive 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 Lord is the One who is the only God and He has the knowledge of all things. 98 And so We narrate to you the stories of the past, and We have given you a remembrance from Us. 99 Whoso turneth away from it, he verily will bear a burden on the Day of Resurrection, 100 and will abide under this burden for ever. Grievous shall be the burden on the Day of Resurrection, 101 the Day when the trumpet shall be blown: We shall gather all the sinners on that Day. Their eyes will turn blue with terror 102 whispering unto one another, "You have spent but ten [days on earth] 103 We know best what they will say. The most perceptive of them will say, "You stayed only one day." 104
