Aaron had said to them before: 'My nation, you have been tempted by it. Your Lord is the Merciful. Follow me and obey my order' 90 They said: We will by no means cease to keep to its worship until Musa returns to us. 91 [Moses] said, "O Aaron, what prevented you, when you saw them going astray, 92 from following after me, did you disobey my order' 93 Answered [Aaron]: "O my mother's son! Seize me not by my beard, nor by my head! Behold, I was afraid lest [on thy return] thou say, 'Thou hast caused a split among the children of Israel, and hast paid no heed to my bidding!" 94 Musa said: what was thy object, O Samiri? 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 Musa (Moses) said: "Then go away! And verily, your (punishment) in this life will be that you will say: "Touch me not (i.e. you will live alone exiled away from mankind); and verily (for a future torment), you have a promise that will not fail. And look at your ilah (god), to which you have been devoted. We will certainly burn it, and scatter its particles in the sea." 97 Your only deity is God, there is no deity but Him. His knowledge encompasses all things." 98 Thus We tell you, (Muhammad), the stories of the past and We have given you the Quran. 99 Whoso turneth away from it, he verily will bear a burden on the Day of Resurrection, 100 with which he will live forever. On the Day of Judgment it will be a terrible load for him to carry. 101 The Day when the Horn shall be blown. On that Day, We shall assemble all the sinners with blued eyes, 102 whispering unto one another, "You have spent but ten [days on earth] 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
