And Aaron had already told them before [the return of Moses], "O my people, you are only being tested by it, and indeed, your Lord is the Most Merciful, so follow me and obey my order." 90 They said, “We will continue to squat* before it, till Moosa returns to us.” (* Continue worshipping it.) 91 Said Moosa, “O Haroon – what prevented you when you saw them going astray?” 92 from [abandoning them and] following me? Hast thou, then, [deliberately] disobeyed my commandment?" 93 Aaron replied, "Son of my mother, do not seize me by my beard or head. I was afraid that you might consider me responsible for causing discord among the children of Israel and would not pay attention to my words." 94 (Moses) said: "What then is thy case, O Samiri?" 95 (Samiri) said: "I saw what they saw not, so I took a handful (of dust) from the hoof print of the messenger [Jibrael's (Gabriel) horse] and threw it [into the fire in which were put the ornaments of the Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people, or into the calf]. Thus my inner-self suggested to me." 96 Musa said: begone thou! verily it shall be thine in life to say no contact; and verily thine is an appointment which thou shalt by no means fail. And look at thy god to which thou hast been assiduous; we shall surely burn it, and we shall scatter it into the sea a wide scattering. 97 Your only deity is God - He save whom there is no deity, [and who] embraces all things within His knowledge!" 98 Thus We recount unto thee some tidings of that which hath preceded; and surely We have vouchsafed unto thee from before Us an admonition. 99 Whoever turns away from it, will bear a burden on the Day of Resurrection. 100 and will abide under this burden for ever. Grievous shall be the burden on the Day of Resurrection, 101 The day when the Trumpet is blown. On that day we assemble the guilty white-eyed (with terror), 102 Murmuring among themselves: Ye have tarried but ten (days). 103 We know well what they will say when the most upright among them will say: "You did not tarry more than a day." 104
