Hadith on Musa: Moses hurt by people, but was patient

Ibn Mas’ud reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was distributing charity when a man from the Ansar said, “By Allah, Muhammad did not intend to please Allah with this!” I came to the Prophet and told him about it, then anger could be seen on his face. Then, the Prophet said, “Who would be just if Allah and His Messenger are not just?” Then, the Prophet said, “May Allah have mercy on Moses! He was hurt by more than this, yet he was patient.”

عَنْ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ قَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قِسْمَةً فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَرَادَ مُحَمَّدٌ بِهَذَا وَجْهَ اللَّهِ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَتَمَعَّرَ وَجْهُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ‏ فَمَنْ يَعْدِلُ إِنْ لَمْ يَعْدِلِ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ‏ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ مُوسَى قَدْ أُوذِيَ بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ هَذَا فَصَبَرَ
