And assuredly Harun had said unto them afore: O my people! ye are only being tempted thereby; and verily your Lord is the Compassionate; so follow me and obey my command. 90 [But] they answered: "By no means shall we cease to worship it until Moses comes back to us!" 91 (Musa) said: O Haroun! what prevented you, when you saw them going astray, 92 That thou followedst me not! Hast thou disobeyed my command? 93 Answered [Aaron]: "O my mother's son! Seize me not by my beard, nor by my head!

Grievous shall be the burden on the Day of Resurrection, 101 The Day when the Trumpet will be sounded: that Day, We shall gather the sinful, blear-eyed (with terror). 102 In whispers will they consult each other: "Yet tarried not longer than ten (Days); 103 We know best what they say. The moderate ones among them will say, "You did not live on earth for more than a day." 104
