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 "So long as Moses does not come back we are not going to give it up, and we will remain devoted to it." 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 from [abandoning them and] following me? Hast thou, then, [deliberately] disobeyed my commandment?" 93 'Son of my mother,' Aaron said, 'take me not by the beard, or the head! I was fearful that thou wouldst say, "Thou hast divided the Children of Israel, and thou hast not observed my word." 94 Moses asked, "Samiri, what were your motives?" 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 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 God. There is no other god but He. His knowledge extends over everything." 98 Thus We tell you, (Muhammad), the stories of the past and We have given you the Quran. 99 Whoever turns aside from it, he shall surely bear a burden on the day of resurrection 100 therein abiding forever; how evil upon the Day of Resurrection that burden for them! 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 Mutterin among themselves: ye tarried not save ten days. 103 We know best what they will say, when their leader most eminent in conduct will say: "Ye tarried not longer than a day!" 104
