Aaron had already, before this said to them: "O my people! ye are being tested in this: for verily your Lord is (Allah) Most Gracious; so follow me and obey my command." 90 They replied, "We shall not cease to worship it until Moses returns to us." 91 Then Moses asked Aaron, "What made you not follow me when you saw them in error? 92 from following me? Why did you disobey my command?" 93 Aaron replied, "Son of my mother, do not seize me by my beard or head. I was afraid that you might consider me responsible for causing discord among the children of Israel and would not pay attention to my words." 94 Musa said: what was thy object, O Samiri? 95 He replied, "I had the skill (of carving) which they did not have. I followed some of the Messengers's (Moses) tradition, but I then ignored it. Thus, my soul prompted me (to carve a golden calf with an artificial hollow sound). 96 Said Moosa, “Therefore go away, for in this life your punishment is that you exclaim ‘Do not touch!’* And indeed for you is a time appointed, which you cannot break; and look at your deity, in front of which you remained squatting the whole day; we swear we will surely burn it and, smashing it into bits, discharge it into the river.” (* He was cursed with a disease.) 97 Your God is only One, Allah. There is no god, except He, alone. His knowledge encompasses all things. 98 And so We narrate to you the stories of the past, and We have given you a remembrance from Us. 99 He who turns away from it will surely bear a heavy burden on the Day of Resurrection, 100 And will live for ever under it. How evil the burden they will carry on the Day of Doom! 101 On the day when the trumpet will be sounded We will raise the criminals from their graves and their eyes will be turned blue and blind. 102 They shall whisper among themselves: "You stayed on the earth barely ten days." 103 We know very well what they will say, when the best among them in knowledge and wisdom will say: "You stayed no longer than a day!" 104
