And assuredly Harun had said unto them afore: O my people! ye are only being tempted thereby; and verily your Lord is the Compassionate; so follow me and obey my command. 90 They said: We shall by no means cease to be its votaries till Moses return unto us. 91 [Musa (Moses)] said: "O Harun (Aaron)! What stopped you when you saw them going astray; 92 from following my way? Have you disobeyed my command?" 93 He [Harun (Aaron)] said: "O son of my mother! Seize (me) not by my beard, nor by my head! Verily, I feared lest you should say: 'You have caused a division among the Children of Israel, and you have not respected my word!' " 94 He said: What was then your object, O Samiri? 95 He said, “I witnessed what the people did not witness – I therefore took a handful from the tracks* of the angel, then threw it** – and this is what seemed pleasing to my soul.” (* The marks left behind by the mount of Angel Jibreel. ** Into the mouth of the calf.) 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 only deity is God - He save whom there is no deity, [and who] embraces all things within His knowledge!" 98 This is how We relate the former tidings to you (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him); and We have given you a Remembrance* from Ourselves. (*The Holy Qur’an.) 99 Whoever turns away from it will surely carry a burden on the Day of Judgement, 100 They will abide in this (state): and grievous will the burden be to them on that Day,- 101 On the day when the trumpet shall be blown, and We will gather the guilty, blue-eyed, on that day 102 and they shall murmur among themselves: 'You have stayed away but ten (days and nights)' 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
