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 [But] they answered: "By no means shall we cease to worship it until Moses comes back to us!" 91 Said Moosa, “O Haroon – what prevented you when you saw them going astray?” 92 That thou followedst me not? Hast thou then disobeyed my order? 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 [Moses] said, "And what is your case, O Samiri?" 95 He said: "I saw what they did not see. I picked up a handful of dust from the messenger's tracks and threw it in, for the idea seemed attractive to me." 96 (Moses) said: "Go hence! All your life you are (cursed) to say: 'Do not touch me; and a threat hangs over you which you will not be able to escape. Look at your god to whom you are so attached: We shall verily burn it, and disperse its ashes 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 We relate to you the history of past events, and We have given you a reminder [the Quran] from Us. 99 Whoever turns away from it will bear a heavy burden on the Day of Judgement, 100 As abiders therein. And vile will it be for them on the Day of Judgment as a load! 101 On the day when the trumpet shall be blown, and We will gather the guilty, blue-eyed, on that day 102 whispering one to another, 'You have tarried only ten nights.' 103 We know well what they will utter, whereas the wisest among them will say, “You have stayed just for a day.” 104
