It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah and Sayyiduna Jundub bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Sayyiduna Adam met Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon them both), and Sayyiduna Musa said: Are you that Adam whom Allah Almighty created with His Hand, settled in His Paradise and made His angels prostrate to you? Then you did what you did (that is, committed the slip), because of which you caused your offspring to be expelled from Paradise? Sayyiduna Adam replied: O Musa! Are you the one whom Allah Almighty chose for His message, spoke to, and granted nearness to Himself for intimate conversation? He said: Yes. Adam (peace be upon him) asked: Then which came first, I (in creation), or that writing (dhikr, of the decree)? He said: That writing came first." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "So Adam prevailed over Musa; so Adam prevailed over Musa."
