During the time of Nabi Musaa (alayhis salaam), a man would narrate to people ahaadith which he would attribute to Nabi Musaa (alayhis salaam). He would do so for worldly motives. This continued for a very long time.
One day a man leading a pig tied with a black rope came to Nabi Musaa (alayhis salaam) and said: “O Nabi of Allah! Do you know a certain man (mentioning his name)?” Nabi Musaa (alayhis salaam) said: “I hear about him.” The man said: “This pig is him.”
Nabi Musaa (alayhis salaam) supplicated to Allah Ta’ala to restore the man to his original form so that he (Nabi Musaa) could question him about the cause for his disfigurement. Allah Ta’ala responded: “I shall inform you why I have done this to him. He devoured the world by exchanging the Deen.” In other words, he would use the Deen to for worldly gains.
