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 They said, "We shall continue worshipping the calf until Moses comes back." 91 Moses said, 'What prevented thee, Aaron, when thou sawest them in error, 92 From coming after me? Did you not disobey my command?" (And Moses pulled him by the hair). 93 He [Harun (Aaron)] said: "O son of my mother! Seize (me) not by my beard, nor by my head! Verily, I feared lest you should say: 'You have caused a division among the Children of Israel, and you have not respected my word!' " 94 Moses asked, "Samiri, what were your motives?" 95 He said, "I saw what they did not see, so I took a handful [of dust] from the track of the messenger and threw it, and thus did my soul entice me." 96 'Depart!' said Moses. 'It shall be thine all this life to cry "Untouchable!" And thereafter a tryst awaits thee thou canst not fail to keep Behold thy god, to whom all the day thou wast cleaving! We will surely burn it and scatter its ashes into 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 relate to thee some stories of what happened before: for We have sent thee a Message from Our own Presence. 99 If any do turn away therefrom, verily they will bear a burden on the Day of judgment; 100 Abiding in this (state), and evil will it be for them to bear on the day of resurrection; 101 The Day the Horn will be blown. And We will gather the criminals, that Day, blue-eyed. 102 They shall whisper among themselves: "You stayed on the earth barely ten days." 103 We know best what they say, when the fairest of them in course would say: You tarried but a day. 104
