quran:18:73 –

˹Moses˺ said, "Do not blame me for what I forgot and do not cover me in my matter with difficulty."  

He said, ‘Do not take me to task on account of that which I forgot, that is, ˹on account of the fact that˺ I was not mindful of submitting to you ˹in the matter˺ and of refraining from showing disapproval of your actions, and do not exhaust me, ˹do not˺ charge me, in this affair of mine with difficulty’, ˹with˺ hardship during my companionship of you, in other words, treat me throughout it with forgiveness and indulgence.
القرآن:١٨:٧٣ –

قَالَ لَا تُؤَاخِذْنِي بِمَا نَسِيتُ وَلَا تُرْهِقْنِي مِنْ أَمْرِي عُسْرًا  

{قال لا تؤاخذني بما نسيت} أي غفلت عن التسليم لك وترك الانكار عليك {ولا ترهقني} تكلفني {من أمري عسرا} مشقة في صحبتي إياك أي عاملني فيها بالعفو واليسر.

البخاري:٦٦٧٢ – حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لاِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أُبَىُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ {لاَ تُؤَاخِذْنِي بِمَا نَسِيتُ وَلاَ تُرْهِقْنِي مِنْ أَمْرِي عُسْرًا} قَالَ كَانَتِ الأُولَى مِنْ مُوسَى نِسْيَانًا
