And certainly Haroun had said to them before: O my people! you are only tried by it, and surely your Lord is the Beneficent Allah, therefore follow me and obey my order. 90 They said: We will by no means cease to keep to its worship until Musa returns to us. 91 Then Moses asked Aaron, "What made you not follow me when you saw them in error? 92 Did you disobey my orders?" 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 Said Moosa, “And what is your explanation, O Samri?” 95 He replied, "I had the skill (of carving) which they did not have. I followed some of the Messengers's (Moses) tradition, but I then ignored it. Thus, my soul prompted me (to carve a golden calf with an artificial hollow sound). 96 (Moses) said: "Get thee gone! but thy (punishment) in this life will be that thou wilt say, 'touch me not'; and moreover (for a future penalty) thou hast a promise that will not fail: Now look at thy god, of whom thou hast become a devoted worshipper: We will certainly (melt) it in a blazing fire and scatter it broadcast in the sea!" 97 Your god is only Allah, except for whom there is no deity. He has encompassed all things in knowledge." 98 Thus We recount unto thee some tidings of that which hath preceded; and surely We have vouchsafed unto thee from before Us an admonition. 99 Whoever turns away from it will surely carry a burden on the Day of Judgement, 100 They will remain in it forever – what an evil burden it will be for them on the Day of Resurrection! 101 On the day the Trumpet is blown; and We shall muster the sinners upon that day with eyes staring, 102 Whispering secretly among themselves, “You have not stayed on earth but for ten days.” 103 We are Best Aware of what they utter when their best in conduct say: Ye have tarried but a day. 104
