Jami` at-Tirmidhi: Book 47, Hadith 297
Narrated Abu Hurairah: “In the market of Al-Madinah, a Jew said ‘No! By the One who chose Musa above all humans.'” He said: “A man from the Ansar raised his hand and struck him in his face. He said ‘You say this while Allah’s Prophet (ﷺ) is among us?’ So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said ‘And the Trumpet will be blown, and all who are in the heavens and all who are on the earth will swoon away, except him whom Allah wills. Then it will blown another time and behold, they will be standing, looking on (39:68). So I shall be the first to raise his head and there will be Musa holding on to one of the supports of the Throne. So I will not know if he raised his head before me, or if he was one of those whom Allah made the exception for. And whoever says: ‘I am better than Yunus bin Matta, then he has indeed lied.'”
