Certainly Aaron had said to them even before (the return of Moses): "My people, you were fallen into error because of the calf. Surely your Lord is Most Compassionate; so follow me and obey my command." 90 But they answered: "By no means shall we cease to worship it until Moses returns to us." 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 so that thou didst not follow after me? Didst thou then disobey my commandment?' 93 He said: O son of my mother! Clutch not my beard nor my head! I feared lest thou shouldst say: Thou hast caused division among the Children of Israel, and hast not waited for my word. 94 [Moses] said, "And what is your case, O Samiri?" 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 Moses said, "Go away! Throughout your life you will not be able to let anyone touch you. This will be your punishment in this life. The time for your final punishment is inevitable. You will never be able to avoid it. Look at your god which you have been worshipping. We will burn it in the fire and scatter its ashes into the sea." 97 Your god is only Allah, except for whom there is no deity. He has encompassed all things in knowledge." 98 Thus do We relate to thee some stories of what happened before: for We have sent thee a Message from Our own Presence. 99 If any do turn away therefrom, verily they will bear a burden on the Day of judgment; 100 therein abiding forever; how evil upon the Day of Resurrection that burden for them! 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 They shall whisper among themselves: "You stayed on the earth barely 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
