Aaron had indeed told them earlier: "O my people, you are being only misled with this. Surely your Lord is Ar-Rahman. So follow me and obey my command." 90 They said: "We will not stop worshipping it (i.e. the calf), until Musa (Moses) returns to us." 91 Musa said: O Harun! what prevented thee, when thou sawest them going astray. 92 from following my way? Have you disobeyed my command?" 93 He said, “O son of my mother, do not clutch my beard nor the hair on my head; I feared that you may say, ‘You have caused a division among the Descendants of Israel and did not wait for my advice.’” 94 'You, Samaritan' said he (Moses), 'what was your business' 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 Musa said: begone thou! verily it shall be thine in life to say no contact; and verily thine is an appointment which thou shalt by no means fail. And look at thy god to which thou hast been assiduous; we shall surely burn it, and we shall scatter it into the sea a wide scattering. 97 Your Lord is the One who is the only God and He has the knowledge of all things. 98 Thus We tell you, (Muhammad), the stories of the past and We have given you the Quran. 99 Whoever turns aside from it, he shall surely bear a burden on the day of resurrection 100 And will live for ever under it. How evil the burden they will carry on the Day of Doom! 101 The Day the Horn will be blown. And We will gather the criminals, that Day, blue-eyed. 102 In whispers will they speak to each other (saying): "You stayed not longer than ten (days)." 103 We know very well what they will say, when the justest of them in the way will say, 'You have tarried only a day.' 104
