Aaron had said to them before: 'My nation, you have been tempted by it. Your Lord is the Merciful. Follow me and obey my order' 90 They had said: "We will not abandon this cult, but we will devote ourselves to it until Moses returns to us." 91 Then Moses asked Aaron, "What made you not follow me when you saw them in error? 92 from following after me, did you disobey my order' 93 (Aaron) replied: "O son of my mother! Seize (me) not by my beard nor by (the hair of) my head! Truly I feared lest thou shouldst say, 'Thou has caused a division among the children of Israel, and thou didst not respect my word!'" 94 Moses said, 'And thou, Samaritan, what was thy business?' 95 He answered: "I saw what the people did not see. So I took a handful of dust from the trail of the Messenger, and I flung it (into the fire). 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 – other than for Whom there is no worship; His knowledge encompasses all things.” 98 Thus, [O Muhammad], We relate to you from the news of what has preceded. And We have certainly given you from Us the Qur'an. 99 Whoever turns away from it, will bear a burden on the Day of Resurrection. 100 therein abiding forever; how evil upon the Day of Resurrection that burden for them! 101 The Day when the Trumpet will be sounded: that Day, We shall gather the sinful, blear-eyed (with terror). 102 They shall whisper among themselves: "You stayed on the earth barely ten days." 103 We know well what they will utter, whereas the wisest among them will say, “You have stayed just for a day.” 104
