English narration
Narrated by أبو هريرة الدوسي
Two men, a Muslim and a Jew, abused each other. The Muslim said, "By Him Who gave superiority to Muhammad over all the people." On that, the Jew said, "By Him Who gave superiority to Moses over all the people." The Muslim became furious at that and slapped the Jew in the face. The Jew went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and informed him of what had happened between him and the Muslim. Allah's Apostle said, "Don't give me superiority over Moses, for the people will fall unconscious on the Day of Resurrection and I will be the first to gain consciousness, and behold ! Moses will be there holding the side of Allah's Throne. I will not know whether Moses has been among those people who have become unconscious and then has regained consciousness before me, or has been among those exempted by Allah from falling unconscious."
النص العربي
حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ ، أنهما حدثاه أن أبا هريرة ، قَالَ : اسْتَبَّ رَجُلَانِ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَرَجُلٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ ، فَقَالَ الْمُسْلِمُ : وَالَّذِي اصْطَفَى مُحَمَّدًا عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ ، فَقَالَ الْيَهُودِيُّ : وَالَّذِي اصْطَفَى مُوسَى عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ ، قَالَ : فَغَضِبَ الْمُسْلِمُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ ، فَلَطَمَ وَجْهَ الْيَهُودِيِّ ، فَذَهَبَ الْيَهُودِيُّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِمَا كَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ وَأَمْرِ الْمُسْلِمِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "
لَا تُخَيِّرُونِي عَلَى مُوسَى ، فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ يَصْعَقُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، فَأَكُونُ فِي أَوَّلِ مَنْ يُفِيقُ ، فَإِذَا مُوسَى بَاطِشٌ بِجَانِبِ الْعَرْشِ ، فَلَا أَدْرِي أَكَانَ مُوسَى فِيمَنْ صَعِقَ فَأَفَاقَ قَبْلِي أَوْ كَانَ مِمَّنْ اسْتَثْنَى اللَّهُ
