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 shall by no means cease to be its votaries till Moses return unto us. 91 He (Moses) said: O Aaron! What held thee back when thou didst see them gone astray, 92 from following me? Why did you disobey my command?" 93 Aaron answered: "Son of my mother! Do not seize me with my beard, nor by (the hair of) my head. I feared that on returning you might say: 'You sowed discord among the Children of Israel, and did not pay heed to my words.'" 94 (Moses) said: "What then is thy case, O Samiri?" 95 He replied: 'I saw what they did not see and seized a handful of dust from the foot print of the messenger and so I cast it; this my soul prompted me to do' 96 (Moses) said: Then go! and lo! in this life it is for thee to say: Touch me not! and lo! there is for thee a tryst thou canst not break. Now look upon thy god of which thou hast remained a votary. Verily we will burn it and will scatter its dust over the sea. 97 Your God is only Allah, the One other than whom there is no god. He comprehendeth everything in 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 If any do turn away therefrom, verily they will bear a burden on the Day of judgment; 100 [Abiding] eternally therein, and evil it is for them on the Day of Resurrection as a load - 101 On the day when the trumpet will be sounded We will raise the criminals from their graves and their eyes will be turned blue and blind. 102 and they shall murmur to one another, "You stayed only ten days on the earth" -- 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
