Aaron had told them before, "My people, you are deceived by the calf. Your Lord is the Beneficent God. Follow me and obey my orders". 90 They said, "We will never cease being devoted to the calf until Moses returns to us." 91 [Moses] said, "O Aaron, what prevented you, when you saw them going astray, 92 So that you did not follow me? Did you then disobey my order? 93 He said: O son of my mother! seize me not by my beard nor by my head; surely I was afraid lest you should say: You have caused a division among the children of Israel and not waited for my word. 94 Moses said, "What was the matter with you, Samiri?" 95 He said, "I perceived what they did not see. So I took a handful [of dust] from the footprint of the Messenger and threw it in [the calf]. That is what my inner self prompted me to do." 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 Allah is only Allah, than Whom there is no other Allah. He embraceth all things in His knowledge. 98 (O Muhammad), thus do We recount to you the events of the past, and We have bestowed upon you from Ourself an admonition. 99 Whoever disregards (the Quran) will be heavily burdened with sin on the Day of Judgment 100 They will remain in it forever – what an evil burden it will be for them on the Day of Resurrection! 101 On the day when the Trumpet is blown and We shall assemble the guilty on that day, blue -eyed. 102 whispering one to another, 'You have tarried only ten nights.' 103 We know well what they will say to one another: We also know that even the most cautious in his estimate will say: "You lived in the world no more than a day." 104
