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 had said: "We will not abandon this cult, but we will devote ourselves to it until Moses returns to us." 91 Then Moses asked Aaron, "What made you not follow me when you saw them in error? 92 "That you followed me not (according to my advice to you)? Have you then disobeyed my order?" 93 He said: O son of my mother! seize me not by my beard nor by my head; surely I was afraid lest you should say: You have caused a division among the children of Israel and not waited for my word. 94 Moses said, "What was the matter with you, Samiri?" 95 'I beheld what they beheld not,' he said, 'and I seized a handful of dust from the messenger's track, and cast it into the thing. So my soul prompted me.' 96 (Moses) said: "Get thee gone! but thy (punishment) in this life will be that thou wilt say, 'touch me not'; and moreover (for a future penalty) thou hast a promise that will not fail: Now look at thy god, of whom thou hast become a devoted worshipper: We will certainly (melt) it in a blazing fire and scatter it broadcast in the sea!" 97 Your God is only Allah, the One other than whom there is no god. He comprehendeth everything in knowledge. 98 This is how We relate the former tidings to you (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him); and We have given you a Remembrance* from Ourselves. (*The Holy Qur’an.) 99 Whosoever turnoth away therefrom - verily they shall bear on the Day of Judgment a burthen, 100 They will abide in this (state): and grievous will the burden be to them on that Day,- 101 The Day whereon the trumpet will be blown into, and We shall gather the culprits on that Day blear-eyed, 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
