What stopped you when you saw them going astray; 92 That thou followedst me not? Hast thou then 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 asked: "O Sameri, what was the matter?" 95 He said: l saw that which they saw not; so I seized a handful from the footstep of the messenger, and then cast it; thus my soul embellished the affair to me. 96 Musa said: begone thou! verily it shall be thine in life to say no contact; and verily thine is an appointment which thou shalt by no means fail. And look at thy god to which thou hast been assiduous; we shall surely burn it, and we shall scatter it into the sea a wide scattering. 97 Your only deity is God, there is no deity but Him. His knowledge encompasses all things." 98 And so We narrate to you the stories of the past, and We have given you a remembrance from Us. 99 Whoever turns aside from it, he shall surely bear a burden on the day of resurrection 100 they will abide in this [state,] and grievous for them will be the weight [of that burden] on the Day of Resurrection 101 The Day when the Trumpet will be sounded: that Day, We shall gather the sinful, blear-eyed (with terror). 102 Whispering to one another: "You have tarried but ten days." 103 We know well what they will say when the most upright among them will say: "You did not tarry more than a day." 104
