And assuredly Harun had said unto them afore: O my people! ye are only being tempted thereby; and verily your Lord is the Compassionate; so follow me and obey my command. 90 They said: "We will not stop worshipping it (i.e. the calf), until Musa (Moses) returns to us." 91 Then Moses asked Aaron, "What made you not follow me when you saw them in error? 92 From coming after me? Did you not disobey my command?" (And Moses pulled him by the hair). 93 Answered [Aaron]: "O my mother's son! Seize me not by my beard, nor by my head! Behold, I was afraid lest [on thy return] thou say, 'Thou hast caused a split among the children of Israel, and hast paid no heed to my bidding!" 94 Moses asked: "O Sameri, what was the matter?" 95 He replied: "I saw what they saw not: so I took a handful (of dust) from the footprint of the Messenger, and threw it (into the calf): thus did my soul suggest 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 none else than Allah, beside Whom there is no god. His knowledge embraces everything." 98 THUS DO WE relate unto thee some of the stories of what happened in the past; and [thus] have We vouchsafed unto thee, out of Our grace, a reminder. 99 Whoever turns away from it will surely carry a burden on the Day of Judgement, 100 and will abide under this burden for ever. Grievous shall be the burden on the Day of Resurrection, 101 The Day when the Horn shall be blown. On that Day, We shall assemble all the sinners with blued eyes, 102 Murmuring among themselves: Ye have tarried but ten (days). 103 We are most knowing of what they say when the best of them in manner will say, "You remained not but one day." 104
