And undoubtedly Haroon had told them before it that, “O my people – you have needlessly fallen into trial because of this; and indeed your Lord is the Most Gracious, therefore follow me and obey my command.” 90 They said, “We will continue to squat* before it, till Moosa returns to us.” (* Continue worshipping it.) 91 (Moses) said: "O Aaron! what kept thee back, when thou sawest them going wrong, 92 so that thou didst not follow after me? Didst thou then disobey my commandment?' 93 "O son of my mother," (Aaron cried), do not pull me by my beard or my hair! I was really afraid you may say that I had created a rift among the children of Israel, and did not pay heed to your command." 94 Moses asked: "O Sameri, what was the matter?" 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 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 god is only God. There is no other god but He. His knowledge extends over everything." 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 If any do turn away therefrom, verily they will bear a burden on the Day of judgment; 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 is blown and We shall assemble the guilty on that day, blue -eyed. 102 and they shall murmur among themselves: 'You have stayed away but ten (days and nights)' 103 We are most knowing of what they say when the best of them in manner will say, "You remained not but one day." 104
