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 assiduous to it until there returneth to us Musa. 91 (Musa) said: O Haroun! what prevented you, when you saw them going astray, 92 from following me? Why did you disobey 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: And what hast thou to say, 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 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 But the god of you all is the One Allah: there is no god but He: all things He comprehends in His knowledge. 98 Thus We tell you, (Muhammad), the stories of the past and We have given you the Quran. 99 Whosoever turnoth away therefrom - verily they shall bear on the Day of Judgment a burthen, 100 And will live for ever under it. How evil the burden they will carry on the Day of Doom! 101 The day the trumpet blast is sounded We shall raise the sinners blind, 102 They will slowly talk to each other and say, "Our life on earth was as short as ten days". 103 [But] We know best what they will be saying when the most perceptive of them shall say: "You have spent [there] but one day!" 104
