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 your case, O Samiri?" 95 He replied: 'I saw what they did not see and seized a handful of dust from the foot print of the messenger and so I cast it; this my soul prompted me to do' 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 Allah – other than for Whom there is no worship; His knowledge encompasses all things.” 98 Thus do We relate to thee some stories of what happened before: for We have sent thee a Message from Our own Presence. 99 Whoever turns aside from it, he shall surely bear a burden on the day of resurrection 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 will be sounded We will raise the criminals from their graves and their eyes will be turned blue and blind. 102 Whispering to one another: "You have tarried but ten days." 103 We know best what they will say. The most perceptive of them will say, "You stayed only one day." 104
