Certainly Aaron had said to them even before (the return of Moses): "My people, you were fallen into error because of the calf. Surely your Lord is Most Compassionate; so follow me and obey my command." 90 'We will not cease,' they said, 'to cleave to it, until Moses returns to us.') 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 following me? Then have you disobeyed my order?" 93 'Son of my mother' he replied, 'Do not seize my beard nor my head. I was afraid that you might say: "You have divided the Children of Israel and did not uphold my word." 94 (Moses) said: "What then is thy case, O Samiri?" 95 He answered: "I saw what the people did not see.

Thus did my mind prompt me." 96 (Moses) said: Then go! and lo! in this life it is for thee to say: Touch me not! and lo! there is for thee a tryst thou canst not break.

Grievous shall be the burden on the Day of Resurrection, 101 The Day when the Horn shall be blown. On that Day, We shall assemble all the sinners with blued eyes, 102 In whispers will they speak to each other (saying): "You stayed not longer than ten (days)." 103 We are Best Aware of what they utter when their best in conduct say: Ye have tarried but a day. 104
