Transliteration:( Allaa tattabi'ani afa'asaita amree )
“Do you not follow me? [130] Are you disobeying my command?”
Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him), still in a state of intense emotion, questioned Hazrat Harun (peace be upon him) saying:
“Did you not follow me?”—meaning, “Why didn’t you come to inform me immediately when the people turned to polytheism?”
This reflects Hazrat Musa’s assumption that immediate communication could have prevented the people’s misguidance.
It was not a denial of Hazrat Harun’s piety, but an expression of urgency and responsibility in safeguarding the faith of the community.
This also shows how deeply concerned the Prophets are about even temporary deviation from Allah’s path.

(20:93) from following my way? Have you disobeyed my command?”[70]
70. The “command” refers to the instructions which Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) gave to his brother Prophet Aaron (peace be upon him) when he made him his deputy in his absence when he went up to Mount Toor: After me take my place and do the right and follow not the way of the mischief-makers. (Surah Al-Aaraf, Ayat 142).
