3408. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه:A Muslim and a Jew quarrelled. The Muslimtaking an oath, said, "By Him Who haspreferred Muhammad ﷺ over all people!"The Jew said, "By Him Who has preferredMūsā (Moses) over all people." The Muslimraised his hand and slapped the Jew, whocame to the Prophet ﷺ to tell him whathappened between him and the Muslim. TheProphet ﷺ said, "Don't give me superiorityover Mūsā, for the people will becomeunconscious (on the Day of Resurrection)and I will be the first to gain consciousness tosee Mūsā standing and holding a side ofAllāh's Throne. I will not know if he has beenamong those people who have becomeunconscious and that he has gainedconsciousness before me, or he has beenamongst those whom Allāh has exempted."

3408 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو اليَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ المُسَيِّبِ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: اسْتَبَّ رَجُلٌ مِنَ المُسْلِمِينَ وَرَجُلٌ مِنَ اليَهُودِ، فَقَالَ المُسْلِمُ : وَالَّذِي اصْطَفَى مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى العَالَمِينَ، فِي قَسَمٍ يُقْسِمُ بِهِ، فَقَالَ اليَهُودِيُّ: وَالَّذِي اصْطَفَى مُوسَى عَلَى العَالَمِينَ، فَرَفَعَ المُسْلِمُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ يَدَهُ فَلَطَمَ اليَهُودِيَّ، فَذَهَبَ اليَهُودِيُّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ الَّذِي كَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ وَأَمْرِ المُسْلِمِ، فَقَالَ «لاَ تُخَيِّرُونِي عَلَى مُوسَى، فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ يَصْعَقُونَ، فَأَكُونُ أَوَّلَ مَنْ يُفِيقُ، فَإِذَا مُوسَى بَاطِشٌ بِجَانِبِ العَرْشِ، فَلاَ أَدْرِي أَكَانَ فِيمَنْ صَعِقَ فَأَفَاقَ قَبْلِي، أَوْ كَانَ مِمَّنِ اسْتَثْنَى اللَّهُ»
