Yet Aaron had aforetime said to them, 'My people, you have been tempted by this thing, no more; surety your Lord is the All-merciful; therefore follow me, and obey my commandment!' 90 They said, “We will continue to squat* before it, till Moosa returns to us.” (* Continue worshipping it.) 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 Did you disobey my orders?" 93 "O son of my mother," (Aaron cried), do not pull me by my beard or my hair! I was really afraid you may say that I had created a rift among the children of Israel, and did not pay heed to your command." 94 [Musa (Moses)] said: "And what is the matter with you. O Samiri? (i.e. why did you do so?)" 95 He replied: 'I saw what they did not see and seized a handful of dust from the foot print of the messenger and so I cast it; this my soul prompted me to do' 96 He said: Begone then, surely for you it will be in this life to say, Touch (me) not; and surely there is a threat for you, which shall not be made to fail to you, and look at your god to whose worship you kept (so long); we will certainly burn it, then we will certainly scatter it a (wide) scattering in the sea. 97 Your God is only the One God; there is no god, but He alone who in His knowledge embraces everything.' 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 Whoso turneth away from it, he verily will bear a burden on the Day of Resurrection, 100 [Abiding] eternally therein, and evil it is for them on the Day of Resurrection as a load - 101 The day when the Trumpet is blown. On that day we assemble the guilty white-eyed (with terror), 102 In whispers will they speak to each other (saying): "You stayed not longer than ten (days)." 103 We know best what they say, when the fairest of them in course would say: You tarried but a day. 104
