And Harun (Aaron) indeed had said to them beforehand: "O my people! You are being tried in this, and verily, your Lord is (Allah) the Most Beneficent, so follow me and obey my order." 90 They said, "We will never cease being devoted to the calf until Moses returns to us." 91 [And now that he had come back, Moses] said: "O Aaron! What has prevented thee, when thou didst see that they had gone astray, 92 from following after me, did you disobey my order' 93 Aaron replied, "Son of my mother, do not seize me by my beard or head. I was afraid that you might consider me responsible for causing discord among the children of Israel and would not pay attention to my words." 94 Said [Moses]: "What, then, didst thou have in view, O Samaritan?" 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 'Begone! Your lot in this life is to cry: "untouchable!' said he (Moses). 'An appointment awaits you that you cannot fail to keep. Look at your god which you clung to indeed we will burn it and scatter its ashes upon the sea' 97 Your only deity is God - He save whom there is no deity, [and who] embraces all things within His knowledge!" 98 Thus do We narrate some account to you of what has gone before, and We have truly given you a Reminder of Our own. 99 Whosoever has turned away from it shall bear a burden on the Day of Resurrection. 100 And will live for ever under it. How evil the burden they will carry on the Day of Doom! 101 The Day when the Horn shall be blown. On that Day, We shall assemble all the sinners with blued eyes, 102 Murmuring among themselves: Ye have tarried but 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
