And undoubtedly Haroon had told them before it that, “O my people – you have needlessly fallen into trial because of this; and indeed your Lord is the Most Gracious, therefore follow me and obey my command.” 90 They said "So long as Moses does not come back we are not going to give it up, and we will remain devoted to it." 91 (Musa) said: O Haroun! what prevented you, when you saw them going astray, 92 from following my way? Have you disobeyed my command?" 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, "What was the matter with you, Samiri?" 95 He said: l saw that which they saw not; so I seized a handful from the footstep of the messenger, and then cast it; thus my soul embellished the affair to me. 96 He said: Begone then, surely for you it will be in this life to say, Touch (me) not; and surely there is a threat for you, which shall not be made to fail to you, and look at your god to whose worship you kept (so long); we will certainly burn it, then we will certainly scatter it a (wide) scattering in the sea. 97 Your God is only Allah, the One other than whom there is no god. He comprehendeth everything in knowledge. 98 (O Muhammad), thus do We recount to you the events of the past, and We have bestowed upon you from Ourself an admonition. 99 Whoever turns aside from it, he shall surely bear a burden on the day of resurrection 100 with which he will live forever. On the Day of Judgment it will be a terrible load for him to carry. 101 The day the trumpet blast is sounded We shall raise the sinners blind, 102 and they shall murmur to one another, "You stayed only ten days on the earth" -- 103 We are Best Aware of what they utter when their best in conduct say: Ye have tarried but a day. 104
