And Harun (Aaron) indeed had said to them beforehand: "O my people! You are being tried in this, and verily, your Lord is (Allah) the Most Beneficent, so follow me and obey my order." 90 They said: We shall by no means cease to be its votaries till Moses return unto us. 91 Moses said to Aaron, "What prevented you, when you saw that they had gone astray, 92 “That you did not come after me? So did you disobey my order?” 93 Aaron replied, "Son of my mother, do not seize me by my beard or head. I was afraid that you might consider me responsible for causing discord among the children of Israel and would not pay attention to my words." 94 Said [Moses]: "What, then, didst thou have in view, O Samaritan?" 95 He replied: "I saw what they saw not: so I took a handful (of dust) from the footprint of the Messenger, and threw it (into the calf): thus did my soul suggest to me." 96 (Moses) said: Then go! and lo! in this life it is for thee to say: Touch me not! and lo! there is for thee a tryst thou canst not break. Now look upon thy god of which thou hast remained a votary. Verily we will burn it and will scatter its dust over 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 away from it will surely carry a burden on the Day of Judgement, 100 As abiders therein. And vile will it be for them on the Day of Judgment as a load! 101 The Day the Horn will be blown. And We will gather the criminals, that Day, blue-eyed. 102 They will murmur among themselves, "You remained not but ten [days in the world]." 103 We know well what they will utter, whereas the wisest among them will say, “You have stayed just for a day.” 104
