Aaron had already told them, "O my people! You are only being tested by this. Your Lord is the All Merciful, so follow me and obey my command." 90 They said: we shall by no means cease to be assiduous to it until there returneth to us Musa. 91 He (Moses) said to Aaron: 'When you saw them in error, what prevented you, 92 from [abandoning them and] following me? Hast thou, then, [deliberately] disobeyed my commandment?" 93 "O son of my mother," (Aaron cried), do not pull me by my beard or my hair! I was really afraid you may say that I had created a rift among the children of Israel, and did not pay heed to your command." 94 [Musa (Moses)] said: "And what is the matter with you. O Samiri? (i.e. why did you do so?)" 95 He said: "I saw what they did not see. I picked up a handful of dust from the messenger's tracks and threw it in, for the idea seemed attractive to me." 96 (Moses) said: "Go hence! All your life you are (cursed) to say: 'Do not touch me; and a threat hangs over you which you will not be able to escape. Look at your god to whom you are so attached: We shall verily burn it, and disperse its ashes into the sea. 97 “Your God is only Allah – other than for Whom there is no worship; His knowledge encompasses all things.” 98 Thus We relate to you the history of past events, and We have given you a reminder [the Quran] from Us. 99 Whosoever has turned away from it shall 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 is blown. On that day we assemble the guilty white-eyed (with terror), 102 Mutterin among themselves: ye tarried not save ten days. 103 We know best what they say. The moderate ones among them will say, "You did not live on earth for more than a day." 104
