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 'We will not cease,' they said, 'to cleave to it, until Moses returns to us.') 91 (Moses) said: "O Aaron! what kept thee back, when thou sawest them going wrong, 92 “That you did not come after me? So did you disobey my order?” 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 [Musa (Moses)] said: "And what is the matter with you. O Samiri? (i.e. why did you do so?)" 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 Moses said, "Begone! It shall be your lot to say throughout your life, "Do not touch me," and you will be faced with a fate from which there will be no escape. Now look at your deity to which you have become so devoted: we shall burn it up, and then scatter it into the sea. 97 Your God is only One, Allah. There is no god, except He, alone. His knowledge encompasses all things. 98 So We relate to thee stories of what has gone before, and We have given thee a remembrance from Us. 99 Whoever turns away from it will surely carry a burden on the Day of Judgement, 100 As abiders therein. And vile will it be for them on the Day of Judgment as a load! 101 The day when the Trumpet is blown. On that day we assemble the guilty white-eyed (with terror), 102 Murmuring among themselves: Ye have tarried but 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
