Aaron had said to them before: 'My nation, you have been tempted by it. Your Lord is the Merciful. Follow me and obey my order' 90 They said: we shall by no means cease to be assiduous to it until there returneth to us Musa. 91 Said Moosa, “O Haroon – what prevented you when you saw them going astray?” 92 That thou followedst me not! Hast thou disobeyed my command? 93 [Aaron] said, "O son of my mother, do not seize [me] by my beard or by my head. Indeed, I feared that you would say, 'You caused division among the Children of Israel, and you did not observe [or await] my word.' " 94 Said Moosa, “And what is your explanation, O Samri?” 95 He said: I saw (Jibreel) what they did not see, so I took a handful (of the dust) from the footsteps of the messenger, then I threw it in the casting; thus did my soul commend to me 96 Said Moosa, “Therefore go away, for in this life your punishment is that you exclaim ‘Do not touch!’* And indeed for you is a time appointed, which you cannot break; and look at your deity, in front of which you remained squatting the whole day; we swear we will surely burn it and, smashing it into bits, discharge it into the river.” (* He was cursed with a disease.) 97 Your Ilah (God) is only Allah, the One (La ilaha illa Huwa) (none has the right to be worshipped but He). He has full knowledge of all things. 98 Thus, [O Muhammad], We relate to you from the news of what has preceded. And We have certainly given you from Us the Qur'an. 99 Whoever turns away from it - then indeed, he will bear on the Day of Resurrection a burden, 100 with which he will live forever. On the Day of Judgment it will be a terrible load for him to carry. 101 The Day when the Trumpet will be sounded: that Day, We shall gather the sinful, blear-eyed (with terror). 102 and they shall murmur among themselves: 'You have stayed away but ten (days and nights)' 103 We know best what they say, when the fairest of them in course would say: You tarried but a day. 104
