4702. It was narrated from Zaid bin Aslam from his father that 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Mūsā said: "O Lord, show us Ādam who brought us and himself out of Paradise." So Allāh showed him Ādam, and he said: "Are you our father Ādam?" Ādam said to him: "Yes." He said: "Are you the one into whom Allāh breathed of His spirit, and taught you the names of all things, and ordered the angels to prostrate to you?" He said: "Yes." He said: "What made you bring us and yourself out of Paradise?" Ādam said to him: "Who are you?" He said: "I am Mūsā." He said: "Are you the Prophet of the Children of Israel to whom Allāh Spoke from behind the Hijāb and did not appoint any messenger from His creation between you and Him?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Did you not find that this was in the decree of Allāh before I was created?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Then why are you blaming me for something that Allāh decreed before I (was created)?" The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said at that point: 'Ādam got the better of Mūsā, Ādam got the better of Mūsā, peace be upon them both.'" Hasan)

4702 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ مُوسَى قَالَ: يَا رَبِّ، أَرِنَا آدَمَ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَنَا وَنَفْسَهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ، فَأَرَاهُ اللَّهُ آدَمَ، فَقَالَ: أَنْتَ أَبُونَا آدَمُ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ آدَمُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: أَنْتَ الَّذِي نَفَخَ اللَّهُ فِيكَ مِنْ رُوحِهِ، وَعَلَّمَكَ الْأَسْمَاءَ كُلَّهَا وَأَمَرَ الْمَلَائِكَةَ فَسَجَدُوا لَكَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: فَمَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى أَنْ أَخْرَجْتَنَا وَنَفْسَكَ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ آدَمُ: وَمَنْ أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ: أَنَا مُوسَى، قَالَ: أَنْتَ نَبِيُّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِي كَلَّمَكَ اللَّهُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْحِجَابِ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُ رَسُولًا مِنْ خَلْقِهِ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: أَفَمَا وَجَدْتَ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ كَانَ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُخْلَقَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: فِيمَ تَلُومُنِي فِي شَيْءٍ سَبَقَ مِنَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى فِيهِ الْقَضَاءُ قَبْلِي؟ «قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ» فَحَجَّ آدَمُ مُوسَى، فَحَجَّ آدَمُ مُوسَى "
