Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 33965 — What Allah the Exalted gave Muhammad

Makhul said: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) had a claim against a Jewish man. He came to demand it from him and met him, and said: "By the One who chose Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) over mankind, I will not part from you as long as I still claim anything from you." The Jew said: "Allah did not choose Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) over mankind." Umar slapped him, and he said: "Abu al-Qasim (peace and blessings be upon him) will judge between you and me." The man said: "Umar said to me: 'By the One who gave Muhammad superiority over mankind,' and I said: 'Allah did not give Muhammad superiority over mankind,' so he slapped me." He said: "O Umar, as for you, make amends with him for slapping him. And O Jew! Yes indeed: Adam is the chosen one of Allah, Ibrahim is the intimate friend of Allah, Musa is the one who spoke intimately with Allah, Isa is the spirit of Allah, and I am the beloved of Allah. O Jew! Yes indeed: Allah took two names for Himself and also granted them to my Ummah. He is 'al-Salam', and He named my Ummah the Muslims; and He is 'al-Mu'min', and He named my Ummah the believers. Yes, O Jew! You sought the day that had been stored up for us: today is ours, tomorrow is yours, and the day after tomorrow belongs to the Christians. Yes, O Jew! You are the first and we are the last, and we will be the first to reach Paradise on the Day of Resurrection. Yes indeed, Paradise is forbidden to the prophets until I enter it, and it is forbidden to all nations until my Ummah enters it."
