69يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا لا تَكونوا كَالَّذينَ آذَوا موسىٰ فَبَرَّأَهُ اللَّهُ مِمّا قالوا ۚ وَكانَ عِندَ اللَّهِ وَجيهًاAli UnalO you who believe! Do not be like those (among the Children of Israel) who affronted Moses, and (be mindful that) God proved him to be innocent of all that they alleged against him. He was of great honor in God’s sight.1This warning came with respect to the Messenger’s marriage with Zaynab, the Mother of Believers. Hypocrites and some with weak faith spoke unbecomingly about this event and about the Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings, in connection with it. The same kinds of offending words were uttered about the Prophet Moses, upon him be peace. Just as the Prophet Moses, upon him be peace, was absolutely free of any such offences alleged against him, God’s Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings, is also absolutely free of any similar allegations. As stated in verses 57 and 58, and notes 31 and 32 above, any offensive word uttered against the Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings, is as if uttered against God, for he is infallible and free of any blemish.
