حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ
أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ: يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ آذَوْا مُوسَى فَبَرَّأَهُ اللهُ مِمَّا قَالُوا قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّ مُوسَى كَانَ رَجُلًا حَيِيًّا سِتِّيرًا لَا يَكَادُ يُرَى مِنْ جِلْدِهِ شَيْءٌ اسْتِحْيَاءً مِنْهُ قَالَ: فَآذَاهُ مَنْ آذَاهُ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَالُوا: مَا يَتَسَتَّرُ هَذَا التَّسَتُّرَ إِلَّا مِنْ عَيْبٍ بِجِلْدِهِ إِمَّا بَرَصٌ وَإِمَّا أُدْرَةٌ وَقَالَ رَوْحٌ مَرَّةً: أُدْرَةً وَإِمَّا آفَةً وَإِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُبَرِّئَهُ مِمَّا قَالُوا، وَإِنَّ مُوسَى خَلَا يَوْمًا [وَحْدَهُ] 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: فَوَاللهِ إِنَّ فِي الْحَجَرِ لَنَدَبًا مِنْ أَثَرِ ضَرْبِهِ ثَلَاثًا أَوْ أَرْبَعًا أَوْ خَمْسًا.

✧ Regarding the verse: 'O you who believe, do not be like those who hurt Musa, and God cleared him of what they said'—he said: The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'Musa was a shy and modest man who would hardly be seen with any of his skin exposed out of shyness. Some of the Children of Israel hurt him, saying: "He only covers himself in this way because of some defect in his skin, either leprosy or a scrotal hernia or some other affliction." God, Mighty and Majestic, wanted to clear him of what they said. One day Musa was alone and placed his garment on a rock and then bathed. When he finished, he came to his garment to take it, but the rock sped away with his garment. Musa took his staff and pursued the rock, saying: "My garment, O rock! My garment, O rock!" until he came upon a group of the Children of Israel. They saw him naked, and he was the most beautiful of men in form, and God cleared him of what they were saying about him. The rock stopped, and he took his garment and began striking the rock with his staff. By God, there are still marks from his striking on the rock—three or four or five dents.'
