Aaron had already, before this said to them: "O my people! ye are being tested in this: for verily your Lord is (Allah) Most Gracious; so follow me and obey my command." 90 But they answered: "By no means shall we cease to worship it 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 followed me not (according to my advice to you)? Have you then disobeyed my order?" 93 He said: O son of my mother! Clutch not my beard nor my head!

Thus did my mind prompt me." 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 God is only Allah, the One other than whom there is no god. He comprehendeth everything in knowledge. 98 Thus relate We unto thee (Muhammad) some tidings of that which happened of old, and We have given thee from Our presence a reminder. 99 Whosoever turnoth away therefrom - verily they shall bear on the Day of Judgment a burthen, 100 [Abiding] eternally therein, and evil it is for them on the Day of Resurrection as a load - 101 On the day the Trumpet is blown; and We shall muster the sinners upon that day with eyes staring, 102 whispering unto one another, "You have spent but ten [days on earth] 103 We know very well what they will say, when the justest of them in the way will say, 'You have tarried only a day.' 104
