Yet Aaron had aforetime said to them, 'My people, you have been tempted by this thing, no more; surety your Lord is the All-merciful; therefore follow me, and obey my commandment!' 90 They said, “We will continue to squat* before it, till Moosa returns to us.” (* Continue worshipping it.) 91 [Moses] said, "O Aaron, what prevented you, when you saw them going astray, 92 “That you did not come after me? So did you disobey my order?” 93 He said, “O son of my mother, do not clutch my beard nor the hair on my head; I feared that you may say, ‘You have caused a division among the Descendants of Israel and did not wait for my advice.’” 94 Said [Moses]: "What, then, didst thou have in view, O Samaritan?" 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 'Depart!' said Moses. 'It shall be thine all this life to cry "Untouchable!" And thereafter a tryst awaits thee thou canst not fail to keep Behold thy god, to whom all the day thou wast cleaving! We will surely burn it and scatter its ashes into the sea. 97 Your god is only Allah, except for whom there is no deity. He has encompassed all things in knowledge." 98 And so We narrate to you the stories of the past, and We have given you a remembrance from Us. 99 Whosoever has turned away from it shall bear a burden on the Day of Resurrection. 100 They will abide in this (state): and grievous will the burden be to them on that Day,- 101 The Day the Horn will be blown. And We will gather the criminals, that Day, blue-eyed. 102 Mutterin among themselves: ye tarried not save ten days. 103 [But] We know best what they will be saying when the most perceptive of them shall say: "You have spent [there] but one day!" 104
