And indeed, even before [the return of Moses] had Aaron said unto them: "O my people! You are but being tempted to evil by this [idol] - for, behold, your [only] Sustainer is the Most Gracious! Follow me, then, and obey my bidding!" 90 [But] they answered: "By no means shall we cease to worship it until Moses comes back to us!" 91 He (Moses) said: O Aaron! What held thee back when thou didst see them gone astray, 92 "From following me? Didst thou then disobey my order?" 93 He said, “O son of my mother, do not clutch my beard nor the hair on my head; I feared that you may say, ‘You have caused a division among the Descendants of Israel and did not wait for my advice.’” 94 [Moses] said, "And what is your case, O Samiri?" 95 He said: I perceived what they perceive not, so I seized a handful from the footsteps of the messenger, and then threw it in. Thus my soul commended to 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 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 We recount unto thee some tidings of that which hath preceded; and surely We have vouchsafed unto thee from before Us an admonition. 99 All who shall turn away from it will, verily, bear a [heavy] burden on the Day of Resurrection: 100 therein abiding forever; how evil upon the Day of Resurrection that burden for them! 101 On the day when the Trumpet is blown and We shall assemble the guilty on that day, blue -eyed. 102 They will murmur among themselves, "You remained not but ten [days in the world]." 103 [But] We know best what they will be saying when the most perceptive of them shall say: "You have spent [there] but one day!" 104
