The Holy Quran 33:69 — Surah Al-Ahzab

Arabic text

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَكُونُوا۟ كَٱلَّذِينَ ءَاذَوْا۟ مُوسَىٰ فَبَرَّأَهُ ٱللَّهُ مِمَّا قَالُوا۟ ۚ وَكَانَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَجِيهًا

Translation

O you who have Imaan! Do not be like those (the Bani Israa'eel) who hurt Moosa عليه الصلاة والسلام (by directing false accusations at him), after which Allaah absolved him of what they said. (Allaah did this because) He (Moosa عليه الصلاة والسلام) was extremely honourable in Allaah's sight (Therefore, if you hurt Rasulullaah ﷺ in any way, Allaah will certainly come to his defence because he is even more honourable than Moosa عليه الصلاة والسلام in Allaah's sight).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Counsel to the Muslims concerning the Prophet ﷺ: that is, do not do any deed or say anything by which your Prophet ﷺ would be hurt. The Prophet ﷺ will suffer no harm [from it], for he holds great honour with Allah — He will refute all hurtful talk. But your own end will be ruined.
