Aaron had indeed told them earlier: "O my people, you are being only misled with this. Surely your Lord is Ar-Rahman. So follow me and obey my command." 90 They said, “We will continue to squat* before it, till Moosa returns to us.” (* Continue worshipping it.) 91 But (Moses) said: "O Aaron, when you saw that they had gone astray, what hindered you 92 That thou followedst me not! Hast thou disobeyed 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 asked, "Samiri, what were your motives?" 95 He answered: "I have gained insight into something which they were unable to see: and so I took hold of a handful of the Apostle's teachings and cast it away: for thus has my mind prompted me [to act]." 96 (Moses) said: "Go hence! All your life you are (cursed) to say: 'Do not touch me; and a threat hangs over you which you will not be able to escape. Look at your god to whom you are so attached: We shall verily burn it, and disperse its ashes into the sea. 97 Your god is only God. There is no other god but He. His knowledge extends over everything." 98 Thus do We narrate some account to you of what has gone before, and We have truly given you a Reminder of Our own. 99 Whoever turns away from it will surely carry a burden on the Day of Judgement, 100 Abiding under it - an evil burden for them on the Day of Resurrection, 101 On the day the Trumpet is blown; and We shall muster the sinners upon that day with eyes staring, 102 and they shall murmur among themselves: 'You have stayed away but ten (days and nights)' 103 We know very well what they will say, when the justest of them in the way will say, 'You have tarried only a day.' 104
