Hadith #160

Arabic Text

English Translation

Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that a man from the Jews, having been slapped on his face, came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Muhammad! A man from your companions from the Ansar 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 Allah's Messenger ﷺ! While I was passing by the Jews, I heard him saying, 'By Him Who selected Moses above the human beings,' I said, 'Even above Muhammad?' 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 Moses holding one of the legs 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
