Aaron had already, before this said to them: "O my people! ye are being tested in this: for verily your Lord is (Allah) Most Gracious; so follow me and obey my command." 90 They replied, "We shall not cease to worship it until Moses returns to us." 91 Moses said, 'What prevented thee, Aaron, when thou sawest them in error, 92 from following my way? Have you disobeyed my command?" 93 'Son of my mother,' Aaron said, 'take me not by the beard, or the head! I was fearful that thou wouldst say, "Thou hast divided the Children of Israel, and thou hast not observed my word." 94 (Moses) said: "What then is thy case, O Samiri?" 95 He answered: "I saw what the people did not see. So I took a handful of dust from the trail of the Messenger, and I flung it (into the fire). Thus did my mind prompt me." 96 Moses said, "Go away! Throughout your life you will not be able to let anyone touch you. This will be your punishment in this life. The time for your final punishment is inevitable. You will never be able to avoid it. Look at your god which you have been worshipping. We will burn it in the fire and scatter its ashes into the sea." 97 Your Allah is only Allah, than Whom there is no other Allah. He embraceth all things in His knowledge. 98 So We relate to thee stories of what has gone before, and We have given thee a remembrance from Us. 99 Whoever turns away from it, will 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 trumpet blast is sounded We shall raise the sinners blind, 102 In whispers will they speak to each other (saying): "You stayed not longer than ten (days)." 103 We know best what they will say. The most perceptive of them will say, "You stayed only one day." 104
