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 said: "We will not stop worshipping it (i.e. the calf), until Musa (Moses) returns to us." 91 [Musa (Moses)] said: "O Harun (Aaron)! What stopped you when you saw them going astray; 92 from following my way? Have you disobeyed my command?" 93 'Son of my mother' he replied, 'Do not seize my beard nor my head. I was afraid that you might say: "You have divided the Children of Israel and did not uphold my word." 94 'You, Samaritan' said he (Moses), 'what was your business' 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 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 We recount unto thee some tidings of that which hath preceded; and surely We have vouchsafed unto thee from before Us an admonition. 99 Whosoever turnoth away therefrom - verily they shall bear on the Day of Judgment a burthen, 100 Abiding under it - an evil burden for them on the Day of Resurrection, 101 The Day whereon the trumpet will be blown into, and We shall gather the culprits on that Day blear-eyed, 102 They will slowly talk to each other and say, "Our life on earth was as short as ten days". 103 We know very well what they will say, when the justest of them in the way will say, 'You have tarried only a day.' 104
