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 by no means cease to be assiduous to it until there returneth to us Musa. 91 Said Moosa, “O Haroon – what prevented you when you saw them going astray?” 92 from following me? Why did you disobey my command?" 93 He said: O son of my mother! seize me not by my beard nor by my head; surely I was afraid lest you should say: You have caused a division among the children of Israel and not waited for my word. 94 Said [Moses]: "What, then, didst thou have in view, O Samaritan?" 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 Musa said: begone thou! verily it shall be thine in life to say no contact; and verily thine is an appointment which thou shalt by no means fail. And look at thy god to which thou hast been assiduous; we shall surely burn it, and we shall scatter it into the sea a wide scattering. 97 Your Lord is the One who is the only God and He has the knowledge of all things. 98 Thus do We relate to you (some) of the news of what has gone before; and indeed We have given to you a Reminder from Ourselves. 99 Whosoever has turned away from it shall bear a burden on the Day of Resurrection. 100 They will abide in this (state): and grievous will the burden be to them on that Day,- 101 On the day when the Trumpet is blown and We shall assemble the guilty on that day, blue -eyed. 102 Whispering secretly among themselves, “You have not stayed on earth but for ten days.” 103 We are the Best Knower of that which they will say, when the best of them in judgment will say: ye tarried not save for a day. 104
