حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، وَمُحَمَّدٍ، وَخِلاَسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ إِنَّ مُوسَى كَانَ رَجُلاً حَيِيًّا، وَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى ‏‏{‏يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ تَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ آذَوْا مُوسَى فَبَرَّأَهُ اللَّهُ مِمَّا قَالُوا وَكَانَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَجِيهًا‏}‏‏"‏

Translation

Ishaq ibn Ibrahim narrated to us: Ruh ibn ʿUbada informed us: ʿAwf narrated to us, from al-Hasan, Muhammad, and Khilas, from Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, “Moses was a very modest man. This is reflected in the saying of the Exalted: ‘O you who believe, do not be like those who hurt Moses; Allah absolved him of what they said, and he was honored in the sight of Allah.’”
