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 وَسَلَّمَ 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
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4331
It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ood said: A man among the Ansar said something objectionableabout the Prophet (PBUH) and i could not refrain from telling the Prophet (PBUH) about it. I wish that I could have sacrificed all my family and my wealth (rather than have uttered it). He said: "They annoyed Moosa with more than this and he was patient." Then he told us that a Prophet was rejected by his people and they wounded him in the head when he brought the message of Allah to them. And he was wiping the blood from his forehead (and saying), O Allah forgive my people for they do not know.
