Abu Huraira reported: Two people, one Jewish and the other Muslim,
fell into dispute and began to abuse one another. The Muslim said, “By
Him Who chose Muhammad in the worlds.” And the Jew said, “By Him Who
chose Moses in the worlds.” Then the Muslim slapped the face of the Jew.
The Jew went to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and told him
about the incident, so he said, “
Do not say I am better than
Moses for mankind will faint (on the Day of Judgment) and I will be the
first to recover, and Moses at that time will be holding the side of the
Throne. I do not know if he would faint and recover before me, or if
Allah will make an exception for him.”
[Sahih Muslim, Book 30, Number 5854]
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ اسْتَبَّ رَجُلَانِ رَجُلٌ
مِنْ الْيَهُودِ وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَقَالَ الْمُسْلِمُ
وَالَّذِي اصْطَفَى مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى
الْعَالَمِينَ وَقَالَ الْيَهُودِيُّ وَالَّذِي اصْطَفَى مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ
السَّلَام عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ قَالَ فَرَفَعَ الْمُسْلِمُ يَدَهُ 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 فَأَكُونُ أَوَّلَ مَنْ يُفِيقُ فَإِذَا
مُوسَى بَاطِشٌ بِجَانِبِ الْعَرْشِ فَلَا أَدْرِي أَكَانَ فِيمَنْ صَعِقَ
فَأَفَاقَ قَبْلِي أَمْ كَانَ مِمَّنْ اسْتَثْنَى اللَّهُ
