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 [But] they answered: "By no means shall we cease to worship it until Moses comes back to us!" 91 Moses said to Aaron, "What prevented you, when you saw that they had gone astray, 92 So that you did not follow me? Did you then disobey my order? 93 Aaron replied, "Son of my mother, do not seize me by my beard or head. I was afraid that you might consider me responsible for causing discord among the children of Israel and would not pay attention to my words." 94 (Moses) said: And what hast thou to say, O Samiri? 95 He said, "I perceived what they did not see. So I took a handful [of dust] from the footprint of the Messenger and threw it in [the calf]. That is what my inner self prompted me to do." 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 only One, Allah. There is no god, except He, alone. His knowledge encompasses all things. 98 Thus do We relate to you (some) of the news of what has gone before; and indeed We have given to you a Reminder from Ourselves. 99 Whoever turns away from it will surely carry a burden on the Day of Judgement, 100 Abiding in this (state), and evil will it be for them to bear on the day of resurrection; 101 On the day when the Trumpet is blown and We shall assemble the guilty on that day, blue -eyed. 102 They will murmur among themselves, "You remained not but ten [days in the world]." 103 We know well what they will say to one another: We also know that even the most cautious in his estimate will say: "You lived in the world no more than a day." 104
