1. (Abrahamic religions) Moses
   • 609–632 CE, Qur'an, 33:69:

     ‏يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ آذَوْا مُوسَى فَبَرَّأَهُ اللَّهُ مِمَّا قَالُوا وَكَانَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَجِيهًا‎

     yā ʔayyuhā allaḏīna ʔāmanū lā takūnū kāllaḏīna ʔāḏaw mūsā fabarraʔahu l-lahu mimmā qālū wakāna ʕinda l-lahi wajīhan
