And Aaron indeed had told them beforehand: O my people! Ye are but being seduced therewith, for lo! your Lord is the Beneficent, so follow me and obey my order. 90 [But] they answered: "By no means shall we cease to worship it until Moses comes back to us!" 91 He (Moses) said: O Aaron! What held thee back when thou didst see them gone astray, 92 from following my way? Have you disobeyed my command?" 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 He said: What was then your object, O Samiri? 95 'I beheld what they beheld not,' he said, 'and I seized a handful of dust from the messenger's track, and cast it into the thing. So my soul prompted me.' 96 Moses said, "Begone! It shall be your lot to say throughout your life, "Do not touch me," and you will be faced with a fate from which there will be no escape. Now look at your deity to which you have become so devoted: we shall burn it up, and then scatter it into the sea. 97 Your Allah is only Allah, there is no god but He; He comprehends all things in (His) knowledge. 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 All who shall turn away from it will, verily, bear a [heavy] burden on the Day of Resurrection: 100 As abiders therein. And vile will it be for them on the Day of Judgment as a load! 101 The Day when the Horn shall be blown. On that Day, We shall assemble all the sinners with blued eyes, 102 In whispers will they consult each other: "Yet tarried not longer than ten (Days); 103 We are most knowing of what they say when the best of them in manner will say, "You remained not but one day." 104
