And certainly Haroun had said to them before: O my people! you are only tried by it, and surely your Lord is the Beneficent Allah, therefore follow me and obey my order. 90 They replied, "We shall not cease to worship it until Moses returns to us." 91 [And now that he had come back, Moses] said: "O Aaron! What has prevented thee, when thou didst see that they had gone astray, 92 “That you did not come after me? So did you disobey my order?” 93 He said: O son of my mother! Clutch not my beard nor my head!

On the Day of Judgment it will be a terrible load for him to carry. 101 The Day when the Trumpet will be sounded: that Day, We shall gather the sinful, blear-eyed (with terror). 102 Whispering secretly among themselves, “You have not stayed on earth but for ten days.” 103 We know best what they say, when the fairest of them in course would say: You tarried but a day. 104
