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 "So long as Moses does not come back we are not going to give it up, and we will remain devoted to it." 91 He (Moses) said: O Aaron! What held thee back when thou didst see them gone astray, 92 "From following me? Didst thou then disobey my order?" 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 was the matter with you, Samiri?" 95 He said: I saw (Jibreel) what they did not see, so I took a handful (of the dust) from the footsteps of the messenger, then I threw it in the casting; thus did my soul commend to me 96 [Moses] said, "Then go. And indeed, it is [decreed] for you in [this] life to say, 'No contact.' And indeed, you have an appointment [in the Hereafter] you will not fail to keep. And look at your 'god' to which you remained devoted. We will surely burn it and blow it into the sea with a blast. 97 Your God is none else than Allah, beside Whom there is no god. His knowledge embraces everything." 98 Thus We tell you, (Muhammad), the stories of the past and We have given you the Quran. 99 Whosoever turns away from it, upon the Day of Resurrection He shall bear a fardel, 100 which they shall bear forever. It will be a grievous burden for them on the Day of Judgement, 101 the Day when the Trumpet shall be sounded and We shall muster the sinners, their eyes turned blue with terror. 102 Whispering to one another: "You have tarried but ten days." 103 We know best what they will say. The most perceptive of them will say, "You stayed only one day." 104
