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 replied, "We shall not cease to worship it until Moses returns to us." 91 Then Moses asked Aaron, "What made you not follow me when you saw them in error? 92 From following me? Then have you disobeyed my order?" 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 Said Moosa, “And what is your explanation, O Samri?” 95 'I beheld what they beheld not,' he said, 'and I seized a handful of dust from the messenger's track, and cast it into the thing. So my soul prompted me.' 96 Moses said, "Go away! Throughout your life you will not be able to let anyone touch you. This will be your punishment in this life. The time for your final punishment is inevitable. You will never be able to avoid it. Look at your god which you have been worshipping. We will burn it in the fire and scatter its ashes into the sea." 97 But the god of you all is the One Allah: there is no god but He: all things He comprehends in His knowledge. 98 Thus do We relate to you (some) of the news of what has gone before; and indeed We have given to you a Reminder from Ourselves. 99 Whosoever turnoth away therefrom - verily they shall bear on the Day of Judgment a burthen, 100 which they shall bear forever. It will be a grievous burden for them on the Day of Judgement, 101 the Day when the trumpet shall be blown: We shall gather all the sinners on that Day. Their eyes will turn blue with terror 102 whispering one to another, 'You have tarried only ten nights.' 103 We know well what they will say when the most upright among them will say: "You did not tarry more than a day." 104
