English

[6151] 159 – (2373) It was narrated that Abü 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-'AzIz (a narrator) was not sure. – "He said: 'No, by the One Who chose Müsâ , above mankind!' An AnsârI man heard him and slapped him on the face, and said: 'You say, by the One Who chose Müsâ above mankind, when the Messenger of Allah is among us?' The Jew went to the Messenger of Allah and said: '0 Abul-Qâsim, I am under protection and have a covenant.' And he said: 'So-and- so slapped my face.' The Messenger of Allah said: 'Why did you slap his face?' He said: '0 Messenger of Allah, he said: "By the One Who chose Müsâ Virtues And Merits of Prophets 222 over mankind," when you are among us.' The Messenger of Allah became so angry that his anger could be seen in his face, and said: 'Do not differentiate between the Prophets of Allah, for the Trumpet will be blown and those who are in heaven and on earth will swoon, except those whom Allah 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 Müsâ , will be there, holding on to the Throne, and I will not know whether he was compensated for his swooning on the Day of At-Tür or whether he was raised before me. And I do not say that anyone is better than Yünus bin Matta "
