Aaron had said to them before: 'My nation, you have been tempted by it. Your Lord is the Merciful. Follow me and obey my order' 90 They said, "We shall continue worshipping the calf until Moses comes back." 91 But (Moses) said: "O Aaron, when you saw that they had gone astray, what hindered you 92 from following after me, did you disobey my order' 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 [Moses] said, "And what is your case, O Samiri?" 95 He replied: "I saw what they saw not: so I took a handful (of dust) from the footprint of the Messenger, and threw it (into the calf): thus did my soul suggest to me." 96 Musa said: begone thou! verily it shall be thine in life to say no contact; and verily thine is an appointment which thou shalt by no means fail. And look at thy god to which thou hast been assiduous; we shall surely burn it, and we shall scatter it into the sea a wide scattering. 97 Your God is only the One God; there is no god, but He alone who in His knowledge embraces everything.' 98 Thus relate We unto thee (Muhammad) some tidings of that which happened of old, and We have given thee from Our presence a reminder. 99 If any do turn away therefrom, verily they will bear a burden on the Day of judgment; 100 As abiders therein. And vile will it be for them on the Day of Judgment as a load! 101 on the Day when the trumpet is blown: for on that Day We will assemble all such as had been lost in sin, their eyes dimmed [by terror,] 102 They will murmur among themselves, "You remained not but ten [days in the world]." 103 We are most knowing of what they say when the best of them in manner will say, "You remained not but one day." 104
