Yet Aaron had aforetime said to them, 'My people, you have been tempted by this thing, no more; surety your Lord is the All-merciful; therefore follow me, and obey my commandment!' 90 They said "So long as Moses does not come back we are not going to give it up, and we will remain devoted to it." 91 Moses said, 'What prevented thee, Aaron, when thou sawest them in error, 92 Did you disobey my orders?" 93 Harun said: O my mother's son! hold me not by my beard nor by my head, verily I feared that thou wouldst say, thou hast caused a division among the Children of Israel and hast not guarded my word. 94 Moses said, 'And thou, Samaritan, what was thy 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, than Whom there is no other Allah. He embraceth all things in His 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 Whoever turns away from it - then indeed, he will bear on the Day of Resurrection a burden, 100 Abiding under it - an evil burden for them on the Day of Resurrection, 101 the Day when the Trumpet shall be sounded and We shall muster the sinners, their eyes turned blue with terror. 102 and they shall murmur to one another, "You stayed only ten days on the earth" -- 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
