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 said, “We will continue to squat* before it, till Moosa returns to us.” (* Continue worshipping it.) 91 But (Moses) said: "O Aaron, when you saw that they had gone astray, what hindered you 92 So that you did not follow me? Did you then disobey my order? 93 [Aaron] said, "O son of my mother, do not seize [me] by my beard or by my head. Indeed, I feared that you would say, 'You caused division among the Children of Israel, and you did not observe [or await] my word.' " 94 Moses asked, "Samiri, what were your motives?" 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 Moses said: "Be gone, then. All your life you shall cry: 'Untouchable.' There awaits a term for your reckoning that you cannot fail to keep. Now look at your god that you devotedly adored: We shall burn it and scatter its remains in the sea. 97 Your God is only One, Allah. There is no god, except He, alone. His knowledge encompasses all things. 98 Thus We tell you, (Muhammad), the stories of the past and We have given you the Quran. 99 If any do turn away therefrom, verily they will bear a burden on the Day of judgment; 100 [Abiding] eternally therein, and evil it is for them on the Day of Resurrection as a load - 101 On the day when the Trumpet is blown and We shall assemble the guilty on that day, blue -eyed. 102 and they shall murmur among themselves: 'You have stayed away but ten (days and nights)' 103 [But] We know best what they will be saying when the most perceptive of them shall say: "You have spent [there] but one day!" 104
