The body of Moses

Jude 9 - But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous accusation against him, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!"

I wonder how that conversation/argument went.

What interest could the devil have had in Moses' body? God had buried Moses, and no one knew where. Was that (for some reason) what they were disputing -- the location of Moses' dead body?

I wonder how Jude came by this information. Perhaps it was something that Jesus had told his followers, and it's just not a conversation recorded by any of the other New Testament writers.
