Sahih al-Bukhari 4432 (Book 65, Hadith 160)
A man from your companions from the Ansar has slapped me on my face!” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Call
him.” When they called him, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Why did you slap him?” He said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)!
While I was passing by the Jews, I heard him saying, ‘By Him Who selected Moses above the human
beings,’ I said, ‘Even above Muhammad?’ I became furious and slapped him on the face.” The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, “Do not give me superiority over the other prophets, for on the Day of Resurrection the people
will become unconscious and I will be the first to regain consciousness. Then I will see Moses holding
one of the legs of the Throne. I will not know whether he has come to his senses before me or that the
shock he had received at the Mountain, (during his worldly life) was sufficient for him.”
