Aaron had told them before, "My people, you are deceived by the calf. Your Lord is the Beneficent God. Follow me and obey my orders". 90 They replied: 'We will not stop; we will cling to it until Moses returns to us.' 91 Musa said: O Harun! what prevented thee, when thou sawest them going astray. 92 from following my way? Have you disobeyed my command?" 93 He said: O son of my mother! seize me not by my beard nor by my head; surely I was afraid lest you should say: You have caused a division among the children of Israel and not waited for my word. 94 Said [Moses]: "What, then, didst thou have in view, O Samaritan?" 95 'I beheld what they beheld not,' he said, 'and I seized a handful of dust from the messenger's track, and cast it into the thing. So my soul prompted 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 God. There is no other god but He. His knowledge extends over everything." 98 Thus We relate to you the history of past events, and We have given you a reminder [the Quran] from Us. 99 Whosoever has turned away from it shall bear a burden on the Day of Resurrection. 100 They will abide in that (state in the Fire of Hell), and evil indeed will it be that load for them on the Day of Resurrection; 101 The Day the Horn will be blown. And We will gather the criminals, that Day, blue-eyed. 102 Murmuring among themselves: Ye have tarried but ten (days). 103 We are most knowing of what they say when the best of them in manner will say, "You remained not but one day." 104
