each of whom will bring forth a (would-be) cavalier who will fight in Allah’s Cause.” On this, his

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “Adam and Moses argued with each other. Moses said to Adam. ‘O Adam! You
are our father who disappointed us and turned us out of Paradise.’ Then Adam said to him, ‘O Moses!
