حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ , حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ , عَنِ الْحَسَنِ , عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ . وَخِلَاسٌ , وَمُحَمَّدٌ , عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ , عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ : " يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ آذَوْا مُوسَى فَبَرَّأَهُ اللَّهُ مِمَّا قَالُوا سورة الأحزاب آية 69 ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّ مُوسَى كَانَ رَجُلًا حَيِيًّا سِتِّيرًا , لَا يَكَادُ يُرِي مِنْ جِلْدِهِ شَيْئًا اسْتِحْيَاءً مِنْهُ , قَالَ : فَآذَاهُ مَنْ آذَاهُ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ , قَالُوا : مَا يَتَسَتَّرُ هَذَا التَّسَتُّرَ إِلَّا مِنْ عَيْبٍ بِجِلْدِهِ , إِمَّا بَرَصًا وَإِمَّا أُدْرَةً ، وَقَالَ رَوْحٌ مَرَّةً : أُدْرَةً وَإِمَّا آفَةً ، وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُبَرِّئَهُ مِمَّا قَالُوا ، وَإِنَّ مُوسَى خَلَا يَوْمًا , فَوَضَعَ ثَوْبَهُ عَلَى حَجَرٍ , ثُمَّ اغْتَسَلَ ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ أَقْبَلَ إِلَى ثَوْبِهِ لِيَأْخُذَهُ , وَإِنَّ الْحَجَرَ عَدَا بِثَوْبِهِ , فَأَخَذَ مُوسَى عَصَاهُ وَطَلَبَ الْحَجَرَ , وَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ : ثَوْبِي حَجَرُ , ثَوْبِي حَجَرُ , حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى مَلَإٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ , فَرَأَوْهُ عُرْيَانًا كَأَحْسَنِ الرِّجَالِ خَلْقًا , وَأَبْرَأَهُ مِمَّا كَانُوا يَقُولُونَ لَهُ , وَقَامَ الْحَجَرُ , فَأَخَذَ ثَوْبَهُ وَطَفِقَ بِالْحَجَرِ ضَرْبًا بِعَصَاهُ , قَالَ : فَوَاللَّهِ إِنَّ فِي الْحَجَرِ لَنَدَبًا مِنْ أَثَرِ ضَرْبِهِ ثَلَاثًا ، أَوْ أَرْبَعًا ، أَوْ خَمْسًا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explained this verse: O believers, do not be like those who hurt Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him), then Allah cleared him of what they said. Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him) was very modest and covered, and for this reason, no man ever saw his body. Some people from Bani Israel hurt him and began to say that the reason he covers himself so much is that there is some defect in his body, such as leprosy or swelling of the testicles (or some disease). Allah Almighty intended to clear Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him) of what they said. So once, Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him) went to bathe and, as usual, took off his clothes and placed them on a stone. That stone ran away with his clothes. Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him) ran after it, saying, "O stone, my clothes! O stone, my clothes!" until the stone stopped near a group of Bani Israel. They saw Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him) naked and found him extremely handsome and free from the defects they had accused him of. Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him) took his clothes from the stone and began to strike it. Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) says, "By Allah! Due to the strikes of Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him), there were four or five marks left on that stone."
