7472. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: "A man from the Muslims and a man from the Jews quarrelled, and the Muslim said, “By Him Who gave superiority to Muḥammad ﷺ over all the people!” The Jew said, “By Him Who gave superiority to Mūsā (Moses) over all the people!” On that the Muslim lifted his hand and slapped the Jew. The Jew went to Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ and informed him of all that had happened between him and the Muslim. The Prophet ﷺ said, “Do not give me superiority over Mūsā, for the people will fall unconscious on the Day of Resurrection, I will be the first to regain consciousness and behold, Mūsā will be standing there, holding the side of the Throne. I will not know whether he has been one of those who have fallen unconscious and then regained consciousness before me, or if he has been one of those exempted by Allāh (from falling unconscious).” [See Hadīth No. 6517, Vol. 8]
