O Samiri? (i.e. why did you do so?)" 95 'I beheld what they beheld not,' he said, 'and I seized a handful of dust from the messenger's track, and cast it into the thing.

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 God. There is no other god but He. His knowledge extends over everything." 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 Abiding in this (state), and evil will it be for them to bear on the day of resurrection; 101 The Day the Horn will be blown. And We will gather the criminals, that Day, blue-eyed. 102 In whispers will they consult each other: "Yet tarried not longer than ten (Days); 103 We know very well what they will say, when the best among them in knowledge and wisdom will say: "You stayed no longer than a day!" 104
