Aaron had already told them, "O my people! You are only being tested by this. Your Lord is the All Merciful, so follow me and obey my command." 90 But they answered: "By no means shall we cease to worship it until Moses returns to us." 91 Musa said: O Harun! what prevented thee, when thou sawest them going astray. 92 From following me? Then have you disobeyed my order?" 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 then is thy case, O Samiri?" 95 He replied: 'I saw what they did not see and seized a handful of dust from the foot print of the messenger and so I cast it; this my soul prompted me to do' 96 Musa (Moses) said: "Then go away! And verily, your (punishment) in this life will be that you will say: "Touch me not (i.e. you will live alone exiled away from mankind); and verily (for a future torment), you have a promise that will not fail. And look at your ilah (god), to which you have been devoted. We will certainly burn it, and scatter its particles in the sea." 97 Your God is only the One God; there is no god, but He alone who in His knowledge embraces everything.' 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 Whosoever turnoth away therefrom - verily they shall bear on the Day of Judgment a burthen, 100 and will abide under this burden for ever. Grievous shall be the burden on the Day of Resurrection, 101 The Day the Horn will be blown. And We will gather the criminals, that Day, blue-eyed. 102 Whispering secretly among themselves, “You have not stayed on earth but for ten days.” 103 We know best what they say. The moderate ones among them will say, "You did not live on earth for more than a day." 104
