Saeed bin Jubair narrates from Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) regarding the explanation of Allah’s statement { لاَ تَکُونُوا کَالَّذِینَ آذَوْا مُوسَی فَبَرَّأَہُ اللَّہُ مِمَا قَالُوا وَکَانَ عِنْدَ اللہِ وَجِیہًا } that his people said to him that he had the disease of“udrah”(a defect), so one day he went out to bathe and placed his clothes on a stone. Then the stone ran away with his clothes, and he chased it naked, until the stone brought him to the assembly of the Children of Israel. They saw that he did not have the disease of“udrah.”He says that this is the meaning of Allah’s statement { فَبَرَّأَہُ اللَّہُ مِمَا قَالُوا وَکَانَ عِنْدَ اللہِ وَجِیہًا }.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding the explanation of Allah’s command { یَا أَیُّہَا الَّذِینَ آمَنُوا لاَ تَکُونُوا کَاَلَّذِینَ آذَوْا مُوسَی فَبَرَّأَہُ اللَّہُ مِمَا قَالُوا وَکَانَ عِنْدَ اللہِ وَجِیہًا }, he said: They caused him harm in such a way that a group from the Children of Israel said about him,“Moses hides from us because there is some defect in his skin, or he has leucoderma, or some other disease, or he suffers from hernia.”Allah Almighty intended to clear him of what they said, so one day Moses (peace be upon him) went into seclusion and placed his clothes on a stone, then entered to bathe. When he finished and came towards his clothes to take them, the stone began to run away. Moses (peace be upon him) took his staff and ran after it, saying,“O stone! My clothes, O stone! My clothes,”until he reached the assembly of the Children of Israel, and they saw him naked, and he was the best of those in physique. In this way, Allah cleared him of what they said. The stone stopped, and he took his clothes and put them on, and Moses (peace be upon him) began striking the stone with his staff. By Allah, there are still marks of Moses’ (peace be upon him) blows on the stone—three, or four, or five.
