Sahih Muslim Hadith 6742 – The Debate

English

[6742] 13 – (2652) It was narrated by Tâwüs that he heard Abü Hurairah say: The Messenger of Allah said: "Adam and Müsâ debated. Müsâ said: '0 Adam, you are our father, but you caused our doom and caused us to be expelled from Paradise.' Adam said to him: 'You are Müsâ, Allah chose you to speak to and wrote (the Tawrah) for you with His Own Hand. Are you blaming me for something that Allah decreed for me forty years before He created me?' The Prophet said: 'Adam got the better of Müsâ, Adam got the better of Müsâ."
