And Aaron indeed had told them beforehand: O my people! Ye are but being seduced therewith, for lo! your Lord is the Beneficent, so follow me and obey my order. 90 They said: We shall by no means cease to be its votaries till Moses return unto us. 91 [Musa (Moses)] said: "O Harun (Aaron)! What stopped you when you saw them going astray; 92 from [abandoning them and] following me? Hast thou, then, [deliberately] disobeyed my commandment?" 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 Said [Moses]: "What, then, didst thou have in view, O Samaritan?" 95 'I beheld what they beheld not,' he said, 'and I seized a handful of dust from the messenger's track, and cast it into the thing. So my soul prompted me.' 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 none else than Allah, beside Whom there is no god. His knowledge embraces everything." 98 Thus relate We unto thee (Muhammad) some tidings of that which happened of old, and We have given thee from Our presence a reminder. 99 Whosoever turns away from it, upon the Day of Resurrection He shall bear a fardel, 100 They will abide in this (state): and grievous will the burden be to them on that Day,- 101 The Day when the Horn shall be blown. On that Day, We shall assemble all the sinners with blued eyes, 102 whispering one to another, 'You have tarried only ten nights.' 103 We know well what they will say. The most just among them in the matter will declare: 'You have stayed away but one day' 104
