And Harun (Aaron) indeed had said to them beforehand: "O my people! You are being tried in this, and verily, your Lord is (Allah) the Most Beneficent, so 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 to Aaron, "What prevented you, when you saw that they had gone 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 Moses asked: "O Sameri, what was the matter?" 95 He replied: "I saw what they saw not: so I took a handful (of dust) from the footprint of the Messenger, and threw it (into the calf): thus did my soul suggest to me." 96 He said: Begone then, surely for you it will be in this life to say, Touch (me) not; and surely there is a threat for you, which shall not be made to fail to you, and look at your god to whose worship you kept (so long); we will certainly burn it, then we will certainly scatter it a (wide) scattering in the sea. 97 Your god is only Allah, except for whom there is no deity. He has encompassed all things in knowledge." 98 This is how We relate the former tidings to you (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him); and We have given you a Remembrance* from Ourselves. (*The Holy Qur’an.) 99 He who turns away from it will surely bear a heavy burden on the Day of Resurrection, 100 and will abide under this burden for ever. Grievous shall be the burden on the Day of Resurrection, 101 On the day when the Trumpet is blown and We shall assemble the guilty on that day, blue -eyed. 102 Whispering to one another: "You have tarried but ten days." 103 We know best what they say, when the fairest of them in course would say: You tarried but a day. 104
