Certainly Aaron had said to them even before (the return of Moses): "My people, you were fallen into error because of the calf. Surely your Lord is Most Compassionate; so follow me and obey my command." 90 They said, "We will never cease being devoted to the calf until Moses returns to us." 91 Then Moses asked Aaron, "What made you not follow me when you saw them in error? 92 Did you disobey my orders?" 93 (Aaron) replied: "O son of my mother! Seize (me) not by my beard nor by (the hair of) my head! Truly I feared lest thou shouldst say, 'Thou has caused a division among the children of Israel, and thou didst not respect my word!'" 94 Musa said: what was thy object, O 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: "Be gone, then. All your life you shall cry: 'Untouchable.' There awaits a term for your reckoning that you cannot fail to keep. Now look at your god that you devotedly adored: We shall burn it and scatter its remains in the sea. 97 Your God is only One, Allah. There is no god, except He, alone. His knowledge encompasses all things. 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 Abiding under it - an evil burden for them on the Day of Resurrection, 101 On the day the Trumpet is blown; and We shall muster the sinners upon that day with eyes staring, 102 and they shall murmur to one another, "You stayed only ten days on the earth" -- 103 We know best what they say, when the fairest of them in course would say: You tarried but a day. 104
