And indeed, even before [the return of Moses] had Aaron said unto them: "O my people! You are but being tempted to evil by this [idol] - for, behold, your [only] Sustainer is the Most Gracious! Follow me, then, and obey my bidding!" 90 [But] they answered: "By no means shall we cease to worship it until Moses comes back to us!" 91 Moses said, 'What prevented thee, Aaron, when thou sawest them in error, 92 from following my way? Have you disobeyed my command?" 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 Musa said: what was thy object, O Samiri? 95 He answered: "I have gained insight into something which they were unable to see: and so I took hold of a handful of the Apostle's teachings and cast it away: for thus has my mind prompted me [to act]." 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 Allah is only Allah, there is no god but He; He comprehends all things in (His) knowledge. 98 So We relate to thee stories of what has gone before, and We have given thee a remembrance from Us. 99 Whoever turns away from it, will bear a burden on the Day of Resurrection. 100 and live in it for ever; how evil will that burden be for them on the Day of Resurrection. 101 The Day whereon the trumpet will be blown into, and We shall gather the culprits on that Day blear-eyed, 102 They will murmur among themselves, "You remained not but ten [days in the world]." 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
