Sahih al-Bukhari 3274 (Book 60, Hadith 87)
said, “No, by Him Who gave Moses superiority over all human beings!” Hearing him, an Ansari man
got up and slapped him on the face and said, “You say: By Him Who Gave Moses superiority over all
human beings although the Prophet (Muhammad) is present amongst us!” The Jew went to the
Prophet and said, “O Abu-l-Qasim! I am under the assurance and contract of security, so what right
does so-and-so have to slap me?” The Prophet (ﷺ) asked the other, “Why have you slapped”. He told him
the whole story. The Prophet (ﷺ) became angry, till anger appeared on his face, and said, “Don’t give
superiority to any prophet amongst Allah’s Prophets, for when the trumpet will be blown, everyone on
the earth and in the heavens will become unconscious except those whom Allah will exempt. The
trumpet will be blown for the second time and I will be the first to be resurrected to see Moses holding
Allah’s Throne. I will not know whether the unconsciousness which Moses received on the Day of Tur
has been sufficient for him, or has he got up before me. And I do not say that there is anybody who is
better than Yunus bin Matta.”
