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: "Go hence! All your life you are (cursed) to say: 'Do not touch me; and a threat hangs over you which you will not be able to escape. Look at your god to whom you are so attached: We shall verily burn it, and disperse its ashes into the sea. 97 Your Allah is only Allah, there is no god but He; He comprehends all things in (His) knowledge. 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 has turned away from it shall bear a burden on the Day of Resurrection. 100 and live in it for ever; how evil will that burden be for them on the Day of Resurrection. 101 On the day when the trumpet shall be blown, and We will gather the guilty, blue-eyed, on that day 102 Whispering to one another: "You have tarried but ten days." 103 We know well what they will utter, whereas the wisest among them will say, “You have stayed just for a day.” 104
