Hadith #265
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ بَهْدَلَةَ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ تَكَلَّمَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ كَلِمَةً فِيهَا مَوْجِدَةٌ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمْ تُقِرَّنِي نَفْسِي أَنْ أَخْبَرْتُ بِهَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم
َ فَلَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي افْتَدَيْتُ مِنْهَا بِكُلِّ أَهْلٍ وَمَالٍ فَقَالَ قَدْ آذَوْا مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاة وَالسَّلَامُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَصَبَرَ ثُمَّ أَخْبَرَ أَنَّ نَبِيًّا كَذَّبَهُ قَوْمُهُ وَشَجُّوهُ حِينَ جَاءَهُمْ بِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ وَهُوَ يَمْسَحُ الدَّمَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِقَوْمِي فَإِنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn Mas'ud (رضي الله عنه) — via 'Affan, from Hammad ibn Salama, from 'Asim ibn Bahdala, from Abu Wa'il — that he said: 'A man from the Ansar said a word that contained offense [mawjida] against the Prophet ﷺ, and I could not contain myself from informing the Prophet ﷺ of it — and I wished I had ransomed [my silence] with all my family and wealth. He (ﷺ) said: "They caused Moses (عليه السلام) more harm than that, yet he was patient." He then mentioned that a prophet was denied by his people and wounded when he came to them with the command of Allah — and he said, while wiping the blood from his face: "O Allah, forgive my people, for they do not know."'
