Sahih al-Bukhari 6661 (Book 87, Hadith 55)
man from your Ansari companions slapped me. ” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Call him”. They called him and
the Prophet (ﷺ) asked him, “Why did you slap his face?” He said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! While I was passing
by the Jews, I heard him saying, ‘By Him Who chose Moses above all the human beings.’ I said
(protestingly), ‘Even above Muhammad?’ So I became furious and slapped him.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
“Do not give me preference to other prophets, for the people will become unconscious on the Day of
Resurrection and I will be the first to gain conscious, and behold, I will Find Moses holding one of the
pillars of the Throne (of Allah). Then I will not know whether he has become conscious before me or
he has been exempted because of his unconsciousness at the mountain (during his worldly life) which
he received.”
