And certainly Haroun had said to them before: O my people! you are only tried by it, and surely your Lord is the Beneficent Allah, therefore follow me and obey my order. 90 They said: "We will not stop worshipping it (i.e. the calf), until Musa (Moses) returns to us." 91 He (Moses) said: O Aaron! What held thee back when thou didst see them gone astray, 92 "From following me? Didst thou then disobey my order?" 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 Said [Moses]: "What, then, didst thou have in view, O Samaritan?" 95 He replied, "I had the skill (of carving) which they did not have. I followed some of the Messengers's (Moses) tradition, but I then ignored it. Thus, my soul prompted me (to carve a golden calf with an artificial hollow sound). 96 'Depart!' said Moses. 'It shall be thine all this life to cry "Untouchable!" And thereafter a tryst awaits thee thou canst not fail to keep Behold thy god, to whom all the day thou wast cleaving! We will surely burn it and scatter its ashes into the sea. 97 Your God is only the One God; there is no god, but He alone who in His knowledge embraces everything.' 98 So We relate to thee stories of what has gone before, and We have given thee a remembrance from Us. 99 Whoever turns away from it - then indeed, he will bear on the Day of Resurrection a burden, 100 As abiders therein. And vile will it be for them on the Day of Judgment as a load! 101 The Day when the Horn shall be blown. On that Day, We shall assemble all the sinners with blued eyes, 102 and they shall murmur to one another, "You stayed only ten days on the earth" -- 103 We know best what they will say, when their leader most eminent in conduct will say: "Ye tarried not longer than a day!" 104
