And certainly Haroun had said to them before: O my people! you are only tried by it, and surely your Lord is the Beneficent Allah, therefore follow me and obey my order. 90 They said, “We will continue to squat* before it, till Moosa returns to us.” (* Continue worshipping it.) 91 But (Moses) said: "O Aaron, when you saw that they had gone astray, what hindered you 92 from following my way? Have you disobeyed my command?" 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 Said [Moses]: "What, then, didst thou have in view, O Samaritan?" 95 He said: I perceived what they perceive not, so I seized a handful from the footsteps of the messenger, and then threw it in. Thus my soul commended to me. 96 Said [Moses]; "Begone, then! And behold, it shall be thy lot to say throughout [thy] life, 'Touch me not! But, verily, [in the life to come] thou shalt be faced with a destiny from which there will be no escape! And [now] look at this deity of thine to whose worship thou hast become so devoted: we shall most certainly burn it, and then scatter [whatever remains of] it far and wide over the sea! 97 Your god is only Allah, except for whom there is no deity. He has encompassed all things in knowledge." 98 THUS DO WE relate unto thee some of the stories of what happened in the past; and [thus] have We vouchsafed unto thee, out of Our grace, a reminder. 99 Whosoever turnoth away therefrom - verily they shall bear on the Day of Judgment a burthen, 100 They will abide in this (state): and grievous will the burden be to them on that Day,- 101 The day the trumpet blast is sounded We shall raise the sinners blind, 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
