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 said: we shall by no means cease to be assiduous to it until there returneth to us Musa. 91 Said Moosa, “O Haroon – what prevented you when you saw them going astray?” 92 So that you did not follow me? Did you then disobey my order? 93 Aaron said, "Son of my mother! Do not seize me by my beard nor by my head.
