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: We shall by no means cease to be its votaries till Moses return unto us. 91 He (Moses) said: O Aaron! What held thee back when thou didst see them gone astray, 92 Did you disobey my orders?" 93 [Aaron] said, "O son of my mother, do not seize [me] by my beard or by my head. Indeed, I feared that you would say, 'You caused division among the Children of Israel, and you did not observe [or await] my word.' " 94 Moses said, 'And thou, Samaritan, what was thy business?' 95 He said: l saw that which they saw not; so I seized a handful from the footstep of the messenger, and then cast it; thus my soul embellished the affair to me. 96 Said Moosa, “Therefore go away, for in this life your punishment is that you exclaim ‘Do not touch!’* And indeed for you is a time appointed, which you cannot break; and look at your deity, in front of which you remained squatting the whole day; we swear we will surely burn it and, smashing it into bits, discharge it into the river.” (* He was cursed with a disease.) 97 Your Allah is only Allah, there is no god but He; He comprehends all things in (His) knowledge. 98 This is how We relate the former tidings to you (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him); and We have given you a Remembrance* from Ourselves. (*The Holy Qur’an.) 99 Whoever turns away from it will surely carry a burden on the Day of Judgement, 100 with which he will live forever. On the Day of Judgment it will be a terrible load for him to carry. 101 On the day when the trumpet shall be blown, and We will gather the guilty, blue-eyed, on that day 102 Murmuring among themselves: Ye have tarried but ten (days). 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
