The story of Prophet Moses (pbuh) has been told in many chapters and from different angles. In the twenty-seventh verse of Surah Taha, the beginning of his mission and his request to remove the knot of the tongue are discussed. According to the appearance of the verse, the stuttering expression of the Holy Prophet raises doubts about the contradiction of physical defects with the position of prophethood and its ineffectiveness in the position of preaching. In this article, using a descriptive-analytical method, an attempt is made to clarify the meaning of the mentioned verse on the defect of Prophet Moses (pbuh) by examining the interpretations of the parties. Some commentators have mentioned non-physical reasons for Musa's stuttering; Such as the fear of the Copts, the obligation not to speak to other than God through the language used to speak to God, the frankness of Aaron (pbuh) towards Moses (pbuh). However, most of them have accepted the cause of physical defects, either congenital or temporary, based on Jamrah's narration. In addition to the documentary problem, this narration is also incompatible with the Qur'anic evidence and authentic narrations. In the case of interpreting the mentioned verse based on the mentioned narration, one should avoid establishing doubts by promising to remove it due to the prayer of Moses (pbuh).
