Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: There was argument between Adam ؑؑand Moses (ؑ). Moses (ؑ) said to Adam: You are our father. You did us harm and caused us to get out of Paradise. Adam ؑؑsaid to him: You are Moses (ؑ). Allah selected you (for direct conversation with you) and wrote with His own Hand the Book (Torah) for you. Despite this you blame me for an act which Allah had ordained for me forty years before He created me. Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: This is how Adam ؑؑcame the better of Moses (ؑ) and Adam ؑؑcame the better of Moses (ؑ).

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: There was argument between Adam ؑؑand Moses (ؑ), and Adam ؑؑcame the better of Moses (ؑ). Moses (ؑ) said to him: You are the same Adam ؑwho misled people, and caused them to get out of Paradise. Adam ؑsaid: You are the same ( Moses (ؑ)) whom Allah endowed the knowledge of everything and selected him amongst the people as His Messenger. He said: Yes. Adam ؑthen again said: Even then you blame me for an affair which had been ordained for me before I was created.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: There was an argument between Adam ؑand Moses (ؑ) (peace be upon both of them) in the presence of their Lord. Adam ؑcame the better of Moses (ؑ). Moses (ؑ) said: Are you that Adam ؑwhom Allah created with His Hand and breathed into him His sprit, and commanded angels to fall in prostration before him and He made you live in Paradise with comfort and ease. Then you caused the people to get down to the earth because of your lapse. Adam ؑsaid: Are you that Moses (ؑ) whom Allah selected for His Messengership and for His conversation with him and conferred upon you the tablets, in which everything was clearly explained and granted you the audience in order to have confidential talk with you. What is your opinion, how long Torah would have been written before I was created? Moses (ؑ) said: Forty years before. Adam ؑsaid: Did you not see these words: Adam ؑcommitted an error and he was enticed to (do so). He ( Moses (ؑ)) said: Yes. Whereupon, he (Adam) said: Do you then blame me for an act which Allah had ordained for me forty years before He created me? Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: This is how Adam ؑcame the better of Moses (ؑ).

Adam ؑsaid to him: Are you that Moses (ؑ) whom Allah selected for His Messengership, for His conversation and you blame me for an affair which had been ordained for me before I was created? This is how Adam ؑcame the better of Moses (ؑ).

'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin al-'As reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Allah ordained the measures (of quality) of the creation fifty thousand years before He created the heavens and the earth, as His Throne was upon water.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Abu Hani with the same chain of transmitters, but there is no mention of "His Throne was upon water."
