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 will never cease being devoted to the calf until Moses returns to us." 91 Musa said: O Harun! what prevented thee, when thou sawest them going astray. 92 from following after me, did you disobey my order' 93 Answered [Aaron]: "O my mother's son!
