Aaron had said to them before: 'My nation, you have been tempted by it. Your Lord is the Merciful. Follow me and obey my order' 90 They said: we shall by no means cease to be assiduous to it until there returneth to us Musa. 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! Clutch not my beard nor my head! I feared lest thou shouldst say: Thou hast caused division among the Children of Israel, and hast not waited for my word. 94 (Moses) said: And what hast thou to say, O Samiri? 95 He said, "I saw what they did not see, so I took a handful [of dust] from the track of the messenger and threw it, and thus did my soul entice 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 Ilah (God) is only Allah, the One (La ilaha illa Huwa) (none has the right to be worshipped but He). He has full knowledge of all things. 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 aside from it, he shall surely bear a burden on the day of resurrection 100 They will abide in this (state): and grievous will the burden be to them on that Day,- 101 On the day the Trumpet is blown; and We shall muster the sinners upon that day with eyes staring, 102 whispering one to another, 'You have tarried only ten nights.' 103 We know best what they say. The moderate ones among them will say, "You did not live on earth for more than a day." 104
