[6151] 159 - (2373) It was narrated that Abū Hurairah said: "While a Jew was selling some goods, he was offered something for them that he did not like, or that did not please him" – 'Abdul-'Azīz (a narrator) was not sure. – "He said: 'No, by the One Who chose Mūsā ﷺ, above mankind!' An Anṣārī man heard him and slapped him on the face, and said: 'You say, by the One Who chose Mūsā ﷺ above mankind, when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ is among us?' The Jew went to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: 'O Abul-Qāsim, I am under protection and have a covenant.' And he said: 'So-and-so slapped my face.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Why did you slap his face?' He said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, he said: 'By the One Who chose Mūsā
☩ over mankind," when you are among us.' The Messenger of Allâh ☩ became so angry that his anger could be seen in his face, and said: 'Do not differentiate between the Prophets of Allâh, for the Trumpet will be blown and those who are in heaven and on earth will swoon, except those whom Allâh wills. Then it will be blown again and I will be the first one to be raised, or among the first to be raised, and Mûsâ ☩, will be there, holding on to the Throne, and I will not know whether he was compensated for his swooning on the Day of Aṭ-Ṭûr or whether he was raised before me. And I do not say that anyone is better than Yûnus bin Matta ☩.'"

159 - (2373) حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حُجَيْنُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ الْهَاشِمِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا يَهُودِيٌّ يَعْرِضُ سِلْعَةً لَهُ أُعْطِيَ بِهَا شَيْئًا، كَرِهَهُ أَوْ لَمْ يَرْضَهُ - شَكَّ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ - قَالَ: لَا، وَالَّذِي اصْطَفَى مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى الْبَشَرِ قَالَ: فَسَمِعَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَلَطَمَ وَجْهَهُ، قَالَ: تَقُولُ: وَالَّذِي اصْطَفَى مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى الْبَشَرِ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا؟ قَالَ فَذَهَبَ الْيَهُودِيُّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ إِنَّ لِي ذِمَّةً وَعَهْدًا، وَقَالَ: فُلَانٌ لَطَمَ وَجْهِي، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لِمَ لَطَمْتَ وَجْهَهُ؟» قَالَ: قَالَ - يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ - وَالَّذِي اصْطَفَى مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى الْبَشَرِ وَأَنْتَ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا، قَالَ: فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى عُرِفَ الْغَضَبُ فِي وَجْهِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " لَا تُفَضِّلُوا بَيْنَ أَنْبِيَاءِ اللهِ، فَإِنَّهُ يُنْفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ فَيَصْعَقُ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا مَنْ شَاءَ اللهُ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ يُنْفَخُ فِيهِ أُخْرَى، فَأَكُونُ أَوَّلَ مَنْ بُعِثَ، أَوْ فِي أَوَّلِ مَنْ بُعِثَ، فَإِذَا مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ آخِذٌ بِالْعَرْشِ، فَلَا أَدْرِي أَحُوسِبَ بِصَعْقَتِهِ يَوْمَ الطُّورِ، أَوْ بُعِثَ قَبْلِي، وَلَا أَقُولُ: إِنَّ أَحَدًا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ مَتَّى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ "
