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 continue to squat* before it, till Moosa returns to us.” (* Continue worshipping it.) 91 Then Moses asked Aaron, "What made you not follow me when you saw them in error? 92 from [abandoning them and] following me? Hast thou, then, [deliberately] disobeyed my commandment?" 93 He [Harun (Aaron)] said: "O son of my mother! Seize (me) not by my beard, nor by my head!

Thus my inner-self suggested to me." 96 He said: Begone then, surely for you it will be in this life to say, Touch (me) not; and surely there is a threat for you, which shall not be made to fail to you, and look at your god to whose worship you kept (so long); we will certainly burn it, then we will certainly scatter it a (wide) scattering in the sea. 97 Your Allah is only Allah, there is no god but He; He comprehends 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 Whosoever turns away from it, upon the Day of Resurrection He shall bear a fardel, 100 therein abiding forever; how evil upon the Day of Resurrection that burden for them! 101 The Day when the Trumpet will be sounded: that Day, We shall gather the sinful, blear-eyed (with terror). 102 whispering unto one another, "You have spent but ten [days on earth] 103 We are most knowing of what they say when the best of them in manner will say, "You remained not but one day." 104
