A man from your Companions from the Anṣār has slapped me on my face!” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Call him.” When they called him, the Prophet ﷺ said, “Why did you slap him?” He said, “O Allāh’s Messenger! While I was passing by the Jews, I heard him saying, ‘By Him Who selected Mūsā (Moses) above the human beings,’ I said, ‘Even above Muḥammad (ﷺ)?’ I became furious and slapped him on the face.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Do not give me superiority over the other Prophets, for on the Day of Resurrection the people will become unconscious, and I will be the first to regain consciousness. Then I will see Mūsā (Moses) holding one of the pillars of the Throne. I will not know whether he has come to his senses before me or that the shock he had received at the mountain, (during his worldly life) was sufficient for him.” Al-Manna (a kind of sweet gum) and As-Salwa (i.e., quail, a kind of bird)...” (7:160)
