375. The murder committed by Prophet Musa.

Verses 20:40, 26:14, 28:15, 28:16, 28:19 of the Quran talk of a murder committed unintentionally by Prophet Musa. When this murder took place he was a messenger of God and it was committed by Prophet Musa unintentionally is clearly conveyed in the Quran. .

There is yet another message in this verse. 

Verse 28:16 of the Quran says Prophet Musa committed a murder unintentionally while intervening in a fight that emanated between a person of his group and another, he pleaded for mercy from the Almighty for having committed the crime and was forgiven ays the verse.

From this we come to understand that murdering someone either as an individual or belonging to a particular group is a sinful act.
