Sahih al-Jami al-Saghir — Hadith 2239

«إن موسى كان رجلا حييا ستيرا لا يرى من جلده شيء استحياء منه فآذاه من آذاه من بني إسرائيل فقالوا: ما استتر هذا التستر إلا من عيب بجلده إما برص وإما أدرة وإما آفة وإن الله عز وجل أراد أن يبرئه مما قالوا فخلا يوما وحده فوضع ثيابه على الحجر ثم اغتسل فلما فرغ أقبل إلى ثيابه ليأخذها وإن الحجر عدا بثوبه فأخذ موسى عصاه وطلب الحجر فجعل يقول: ثوبي حجر ثوبي حجر! حتى انتهى إلى ملأ من بني إسرائيل فرأوه عريانا أحسن ما خلق الله وبرأه مما يقولون وقام الحجر فأخذ ثوبه فلبسه وطفق بالحجر ضربا بعصاه فوالله إن بالحجر لندبا من أثر ضربه ثلاثا أو أربعا أو خمسا فذلك قوله تعالى: {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ آذَوْا مُوسَى فَبَرَّأَهُ اللَّهُ مِمَّا قَالُوا وَكَانَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَجِيها} »
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Indeed, Musa (peace be upon him) was a very modest man who kept himself covered; out of modesty, no part of his body could be seen. So those among the Children of Israel who wished to hurt him hurt him, and they began saying: He only covers himself this much because there is some defect in his body: either leprosy (white patches), or a hernia, or some other affliction. And indeed, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, willed to clear him of what they said. One day he went off alone, placed his clothes on a stone and began to bathe. When he had finished bathing, he went towards his clothes to take them, but the stone ran off with his clothes. Musa took hold of his staff and ran after the stone, saying: O stone, my garment! O stone, my garment! until he reached a gathering of the Children of Israel. They saw Musa unclothed, the best of Allah's creation, and Allah cleared him of the defect they used to speak of. Then the stone stopped, so he took his clothes and put them on, and began striking the stone with his staff. By Allah, the marks of his striking are still on that stone, three, four or five of them. And concerning this is the saying of Allah Almighty: 'O you who believe, do not be like those who hurt Musa; then Allah cleared him of what they said, and he was honoured in the sight of Allah.' [Surah al-Ahzab: 69]"
