And indeed, even before [the return of Moses] had Aaron said unto them: "O my people! You are but being tempted to evil by this [idol] - for, behold, your [only] Sustainer is the Most Gracious! Follow me, then, and obey my bidding!" 90 They said: We shall by no means cease to be its votaries till Moses return unto us. 91 [Musa (Moses)] said: "O Harun (Aaron)! What stopped you when you saw them going astray; 92 Did you disobey my orders?" 93 'Son of my mother' he replied, 'Do not seize my beard nor my head. I was afraid that you might say: "You have divided the Children of Israel and did not uphold my word." 94 Moses said, 'And thou, Samaritan, what was thy business?' 95 He said, "I saw what they did not see, so I took a handful [of dust] from the track of the messenger and threw it, and thus did my soul entice me." 96 Musa said: begone thou! verily it shall be thine in life to say no contact; and verily thine is an appointment which thou shalt by no means fail. And look at thy god to which thou hast been assiduous; we shall surely burn it, and we shall scatter it into the sea a wide scattering. 97 Your god is only God. There is no other god but He. His knowledge extends over everything." 98 Thus do We relate to thee some stories of what happened before: for We have sent thee a Message from Our own Presence. 99 Whoever turns aside from it, he shall surely bear a burden on the day of resurrection 100 And will live for ever under it. How evil the burden they will carry on the Day of Doom! 101 The Day when the Trumpet will be sounded: that Day, We shall gather the sinful, blear-eyed (with terror). 102 and they shall murmur among themselves: 'You have stayed away but ten (days and nights)' 103 We know very well what they will say, when the justest of them in the way will say, 'You have tarried only a day.' 104
