Mishkat al-Masabih 5313 — The incident of a prophet
وَعَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَحْكِي نَبِيًّا مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ ضَرَبَهُ قَوْمُهُ فَأَدْمَوْهُ وَهُوَ يَمْسَحُ الدَّمَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ وَيَقُولُ: «اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِقَوْمِي فَإِنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ» . مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ
Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: It is as if I am seeing the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) describing the incident of a prophet from among the prophets. His people beat him and wounded him, and he was wiping the blood from his face while saying, "O Allah! Forgive my people, for they do not know." Agreed upon.
