Hadith 11191

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ يَهُودِيٌّ بِسُوقِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَالَّذِي اصْطَفَى مُوسَى عَلَى الْبَشَرِ قَالَ فَلَطَمَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ تَقُولُ هَذَا وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِينَا قَالَ فَأَتَى الْيَهُودِيُّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ {وَنُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ فَصَعِقَ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا مَنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ نُفِخَ فِيهِ أُخْرَى فَإِذَا هُمْ قِيَامٌ يَنْظُرُونَ} [الزمر: 68] قَالَ فَأَكُونُ أَوَّلَ مَنْ يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ فَإِذَا مُوسَى آخِذٌ بِقَائِمَةٍ مِنْ قَوَائِمِ الْعَرْشِ فَلَا أَدْرِي أَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ قَبْلِي أَمْ كَانَ مِمَّنِ اسْتَثْنَى اللَّهُ وَمَنْ قَالَ أَنِّي خَيْرٌ مِنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ مَتَّى فَقَدْ كَذَبَ
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that in the marketplace of Madinah, a Jew said: "By the One Who gave Musa superiority over all mankind." Upon hearing these words, an Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), out of zeal, slapped him and said: "How dare you say this while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is present among us?" That Jew went to complain to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse in response: {وَنُفِخَ فِی الصُّورِ فَصَعِقَ مَنْ فِی السَّمٰوَاتِ وَمَنْ فِی الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا مَنْ شَآئَ اللّٰہُ ثُمَّ نُفِخَ فِیہِ أُخْرٰی فَإِذَا ہُمْ قِیَامٌیَنْظُرُونَ} … And when the Trumpet will be blown for the first time, the creatures of the heavens will fall unconscious except those whom Allah wills. Then it will be blown again, and all will rise up, looking on. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: At that time, I will be the first to regain consciousness and raise my head, but I will see that Musa (peace be upon him) is standing, holding one of the pillars of the Throne. I will not know whether he regained consciousness before me or whether he is among those who were exempted from falling unconscious. And (remember that) whoever says that I (Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him) am superior to Yunus bin Matta, he has spoken incorrectly.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Although the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is, in absolute terms, superior to all the Prophets and Messengers, it is not permitted to mention any specific Prophet by name and say that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is superior, more noble, or higher than that particular Prophet. Saying so may, in a certain way, entail a form of disrespect towards that Prophet.
