Certainly Aaron had said to them even before (the return of Moses): "My people, you were fallen into error because of the calf. Surely your Lord is Most Compassionate; so follow me and obey my command." 90 But they answered: "By no means shall we 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 That thou followedst me not? Hast thou then disobeyed my order? 93 Harun said: O my mother's son! hold me not by my beard nor by my head, verily I feared that thou wouldst say, thou hast caused a division among the Children of Israel and hast not guarded my word. 94 [Moses] said, "And what is your 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.

How evil the burden they will carry on the Day of Doom! 101 the Day when the Trumpet shall be sounded and We shall muster the sinners, their eyes turned blue with terror. 102 and they shall murmur to one another, "You stayed only ten days on the earth" -- 103 We are the Best Knower of that which they will say, when the best of them in judgment will say: ye tarried not save for a day. 104
