Did you not disobey my command?" (And Moses pulled him by the hair). 93 "O son of my mother," (Aaron cried), do not pull me by my beard or my hair!

Thus did my mind prompt me." 96 'Begone! Your lot in this life is to cry: "untouchable!' said he (Moses). 'An appointment awaits you that you cannot fail to keep. Look at your god which you clung to indeed we will burn it and scatter its ashes upon the sea' 97 Your Allah is only Allah, than Whom there is no other Allah. He embraceth all things in His knowledge. 98 (O Muhammad), thus do We recount to you the events of the past, and We have bestowed upon you from Ourself an admonition. 99 Whosoever has turned away from it shall bear a burden on the Day of Resurrection. 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 is blown: for on that Day We will assemble all such as had been lost in sin, their eyes dimmed [by terror,] 102 whispering unto one another, "You have spent but ten [days on earth] 103 We know very well what they will say, when the best among them in knowledge and wisdom will say: "You stayed no longer than a day!" 104
