Aaron had already warned the people, saying, "O people, you have been involved in mischief by this (calf) In fact, your Lord is Rahman, so follow me and submit to me." But they replied, "We will go on worshiping it till Moses comes back to us."70 (After rebuking the people, Moses turned to Aaron) and said,"O Aaron, what prevented you from following my way when you saw that they were going astray? What, did you disobey my command?"71 Aaron said, “O son of my mother,do not seize me by my beard nor pull the hair of my head.72 I was afraid that you might say on your return, “You sowed discord among the Israelites and did not pay due heed to my words!”73 (Then Moses turned to Samiri) and said, "O Samiri, what have you to say about the matter?" He replied, "I saw what the people did not see: so I took a handful of dust from the footprints of the Messenger, and sprinkled it (on the calf), for so did my soul prompt me."74 Moses said, “Well, get away! now you shall have to say throughout your life: “Touch me not”75 And there is an appointed time for your reckoning which is inevitable. And just have a look at your god which you cherished so much: now We will burn it and shatter it and cast the ashes into the sea.” O people, your God is Allah alone Who has no other god beside Him: His knowledge embraces everything. O Muhammad,76 thus do We relate to you the history of the past events, and We have given you an "Admonition" from Our Own Self.77 Whoso will turn away from it, he shall bear a heavy burden of sin on the Day of Resurrection; and all such people shall always remain under its heavy burden, and it will be a very heavy responsibility indeed that they shall have to bear on the Day of Resurrection.78 On that Day, when the Trumpet will be blown79 and We will muster the criminals while their eyes shall be dimmed (with terror),80 they will whisper to one another, "You hardly stayed for ten days on the Earth."81 We know full well82 what they will be talking; (We also know that) at that time the most careful estimator among them will say, "No, your life on the Earth was but for a day.”83 They ask you, "Well, where will the mountains go on that Day?" Say to them, "My Lord will reduce them to fine dust and scatter it away. He will turn the Earth into an empty level plain, wherein you will neither see any curve nor crease."84 On that Day the people will come straight to the call of the summoner; no one will dare show any haughtiness, and all the voices will be hushed before the Merciful and you will hear nothing but a whispering murmur.85 On that Day no intercession shall avail save his whom the Merciful may allow to intercede and be pleased to give him a hearing.86 He is fully aware of all that is before the people and of all that is behind them but others do not have full knowledge of it.87 The people will hang their heads with awe before the Living One, the Eternal. Loser shall be the one who will be carrying the burden of the sin of an iniquity, but whoso does righteous deeds and is a Believer as well, he shall have no fear of any injustice nor shall he be deprived of his rights.88
