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 will never cease being devoted to the calf until Moses returns to us." 91 Then Moses asked Aaron, "What made you not follow me when you saw them in error? 92 “That you did not come after me?

Behold, I was afraid lest [on thy return] thou say, 'Thou hast caused a split among the children of Israel, and hast paid no heed to my bidding!" 94 He said: What was then your object, O Samiri? 95 'I beheld what they beheld not,' he said, 'and I seized a handful of dust from the messenger's track, and cast it into the thing. So my soul prompted 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. Now look upon thy god of which thou hast remained a votary. Verily we will burn it and will scatter its dust over the sea. 97 Your God is only the One God; there is no god, but He alone who in His knowledge embraces everything.' 98 Thus We tell you, (Muhammad), the stories of the past and We have given you the Quran. 99 Whoever disregards (the Quran) will be heavily burdened with sin on the Day of Judgment 100 and will abide under this burden for ever. Grievous shall be the burden on the Day of Resurrection, 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 In whispers will they consult each other: "Yet tarried 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
