English narration

Narrated by أبو هريرة الدوسي

Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Adam and Moses held a disputation. Moses said: Adam you are our father. You deprived us and caused us to come out from Paradise. Adam said: You are Moses Allah chose you for his speech and wrote the Torah for you with his hand. Do you blame me for doing a deed which Allah had decreed that I should do forty year before he created me? So Adam got the better of Moses in argument. Ahmad bin Salih said from Amr from Tawus who heard Abu Hurairah.

احْتَجَّ آدَمُ ، وَمُوسَى ، فَقَالَ مُوسَى : يَا آدَمُ أَنْتَ أَبُونَا خَيَّبْتَنَا وَأَخْرَجْتَنَا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ ، فَقَالَ آدَمُ : أَنْتَ مُوسَى اصْطَفَاكَ اللَّهُ بِكَلَامِهِ ، وَخَطَّ لَكَ التَّوْرَاةَ بِيَدِهِ تَلُومُنِي عَلَى أَمْرٍ قَدَّرَهُ عَلَيَّ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَنِي بِأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً ، فَحَجَّ آدَمُ ، مُوسَى

" ، قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ : عَنْ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ ، سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ .
