Aaron had already told them, "O my people! You are only being tested by this. Your Lord is the All Merciful, so follow me and obey my command." 90 They said, “We will continue to squat* before it, till Moosa returns to us.” (* Continue worshipping it.) 91 Moses said to Aaron, "What prevented you, when you saw that they had gone astray, 92 from [abandoning them and] following me? Hast thou, then, [deliberately] disobeyed my commandment?" 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 'You, Samaritan' said he (Moses), 'what was your business' 95 He replied, "I had the skill (of carving) which they did not have. I followed some of the Messengers's (Moses) tradition, but I then ignored it. Thus, my soul prompted me (to carve a golden calf with an artificial hollow sound). 96 Moses said, "Go away! Throughout your life you will not be able to let anyone touch you. This will be your punishment in this life. The time for your final punishment is inevitable. You will never be able to avoid it. Look at your god which you have been worshipping. We will burn it in the fire and scatter its ashes 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 tell you, (Muhammad), the stories of the past and We have given you the Quran. 99 Whosoever turns away from it, upon the Day of Resurrection He shall bear a fardel, 100 They will abide in this (state): and grievous will the burden be to them on that Day,- 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 speak to each other (saying): "You stayed not longer than 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
