to Muhammad over all the people.” On that, the Jew said, “By Him Who gave superiority to Moses

Apostle said, “Don’t give me superiority over Moses, for the people will fall unconscious on the Day
of Resurrection and I will be the first to gain consciousness, and behold ! Moses will be there holding
the side of Allah’s Throne. I will not know whether Moses has been among those people who have
become unconscious and then has regained consciousness before me, or has been among those
exempted by Allah from falling unconscious.”
“ لاَ تُخَيِّرُونِي عَلَى مُوسَى، فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ يَصْعَقُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، فَأَكُونُ فِي أَوَّلِ مَنْ يُفِيقُ، فَإِذَا مُوسَى بَاطِشٌ بِجَانِبِ الْعَرْشِ، فَلاَ أَدْرِي أَكَانَ مُوسَى فِيمَنْ صَعِقَ فَأَفَاقَ قَبْلِي، أَوْ كَانَ مِمَّنِ اسْتَثْنَى اللَّهُ ”.
Sahih al-Bukhari 6278 (Book 81, Hadith 106)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
