Aaron had indeed told them earlier: "O my people, you are being only misled with this. Surely your Lord is Ar-Rahman. So follow me and obey my command." 90 'We will not cease,' they said, 'to cleave to it, until Moses returns to us.') 91 [Moses] said, "O Aaron, what prevented you, when you saw them going astray, 92 That thou followedst me not? Hast thou then disobeyed my order? 93 Aaron replied, "Son of my mother, do not seize me by my beard or head. I was afraid that you might consider me responsible for causing discord among the children of Israel and would not pay attention to my words." 94 'You, Samaritan' said he (Moses), 'what was your business' 95 He said, "I perceived what they did not see. So I took a handful [of dust] from the footprint of the Messenger and threw it in [the calf]. That is what my inner self prompted me to do." 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, the One other than whom there is no god. He comprehendeth everything in 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 He who turns away from it will surely bear a heavy 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 On the day when the Trumpet is blown and We shall assemble the guilty on that day, blue -eyed. 102 They shall whisper among themselves: "You stayed on the earth barely 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
