And certainly Haroun had said to them before: O my people! you are only tried by it, and surely your Lord is the Beneficent Allah, therefore follow me and obey my order. 90 They said, "We will never cease being devoted to the calf until Moses returns to us." 91 [Moses] said, "O Aaron, what prevented you, when you saw them going astray, 92 That thou followedst me not? Hast thou then disobeyed my order? 93 'Son of my mother,' Aaron said, 'take me not by the beard, or the head! I was fearful that thou wouldst say, "Thou hast divided the Children of Israel, and thou hast not observed my word." 94 Said Moosa, “And what is your explanation, O Samri?” 95 He said, “I witnessed what the people did not witness – I therefore took a handful from the tracks* of the angel, then threw it** – and this is what seemed pleasing to my soul.” (* The marks left behind by the mount of Angel Jibreel. ** Into the mouth of the calf.) 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, there is no god but He; He comprehends all things in (His) knowledge. 98 Thus do We narrate some account to you of what has gone before, and We have truly given you a Reminder of Our own. 99 Whoso turneth away from it, he verily will 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 the Day when the Trumpet shall be sounded and We shall muster the sinners, their eyes turned blue with terror. 102 In whispers will they speak to each other (saying): "You stayed not longer than ten (days)." 103 We know very well what they will say, when the justest of them in the way will say, 'You have tarried only a day.' 104
