Aaron had told them before, "My people, you are deceived by the calf. Your Lord is the Beneficent God. Follow me and obey my orders". 90 They had said: "We will not abandon this cult, but we will devote ourselves to it until Moses returns to us." 91 Said Moosa, “O Haroon – what prevented you when you saw them going astray?” 92 "That you followed me not (according to my advice to you)? Have you then disobeyed my order?" 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 said, 'And thou, Samaritan, what was thy business?' 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 Said Moosa, “Therefore go away, for in this life your punishment is that you exclaim ‘Do not touch!’* And indeed for you is a time appointed, which you cannot break; and look at your deity, in front of which you remained squatting the whole day; we swear we will surely burn it and, smashing it into bits, discharge it into the river.” (* He was cursed with a disease.) 97 Your only deity is God, there is no deity but Him. His knowledge encompasses all things." 98 Thus do We narrate some account to you of what has gone before, and We have truly given you a Reminder of Our own. 99 If any do turn away therefrom, verily they will bear a burden on the Day of judgment; 100 [Abiding] eternally therein, and evil it is for them on the Day of Resurrection as a load - 101 On the day the Trumpet is blown; and We shall muster the sinners upon that day with eyes staring, 102 Whispering secretly among themselves, “You have not stayed on earth but for ten days.” 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
