Syedna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a Muslim and a Jew insulted each other. The Muslim said: "By Him Who chose Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) over all the worlds!" The Jew said: "By Him Who chose Musa (peace be upon him) over all the worlds!" Hearing this, the Muslim became angry and slapped the Jew on the eye. The Jew came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him of the details of the dispute. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked the Muslim, and he admitted it. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not give me superiority over Musa. Indeed, people will fall unconscious on the Day of Resurrection. I will be the first to regain consciousness, and I will find Musa (peace be upon him) standing and holding onto the side of the Throne. So I do not know whether he also fell unconscious and regained consciousness before me, or Allah the Exalted exempted him."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not give preference among the noble Prophets.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed some wealth one day. An Ansari said: "The purpose of this distribution is not the pleasure of Allah Almighty." I said: "O enemy of Allah! I will surely inform the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about this." Then, when this was conveyed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), his face turned red and he said: "May Allah's mercy be upon Musa (peace be upon him); he was troubled with more than this, yet he still remained patient."

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), narrating the hadith of Isra, reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then I was taken up to the sixth heaven. Jibreel (peace be upon him) requested for it to be opened. It was asked: Who are you? He said: I am Jibreel. Then it was asked: Who is with you? He said: Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is with me. Then it was asked: Has a message been sent to him? He said: Yes, a message has been sent to him. So the door was opened for us. Suddenly, I saw Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him). He welcomed me and prayed for my goodness and well-being, … … , then Allah Almighty revealed to me what He wished to reveal, and fifty prayers were made obligatory upon me in a day. On my return, when I passed by Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him), he said to me: Return to your Lord and ask for a reduction, your Ummah will not be able to perform these prayers, for I have tested the Children of Israel. So I returned to my Lord and said: O my Lord! Please lighten (the burden) for my Ummah. So Allah Almighty reduced five prayers. But when I returned to Musa (peace be upon him), he asked: What have you done? I said: Five prayers have been reduced. He said: Your Ummah will not be able to perform (forty-five) prayers, so return and ask your Lord for a reduction for your Ummah. So I kept going back and forth between my Lord and Musa (peace be upon him), and Allah Almighty kept reducing five prayers each time, until He said: O Muhammad! There are five prayers in a day and night, the reward for each prayer will be tenfold, so it is as if they are fifty prayers, because whoever intends to do a good deed but does not actually do it, it is still written as a good deed for him, and whoever intends to do a bad deed but does not actually commit it, no bad deed will be written for him, and whoever commits it, one bad deed will be written for him. So I descended and reached Musa (peace be upon him) and told him the whole detail. He said: Return to your Lord and ask for a reduction for your Ummah, for your Ummah will not be able to bear even this. But the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I have gone to my Lord so many times that now I feel shy.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The nations were presented before me. I saw that with some prophets there was a group, with some a single individual, with some two individuals, and with some there was no one. Suddenly, a large multitude was shown to me. I said: Is this my Ummah? It was said: This is Musa (Moses), peace be upon him, and his people. Now look towards the horizon. There was a large multitude there as well. Then I was told: Now look this way. There too was a large multitude. Then I was told: This is your Ummah, and with them are seventy thousand people who will enter Paradise without reckoning or punishment. The Companions began to discuss among themselves, saying: Perhaps these are the people who remained with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Someone said: It seems these are those who were born in Islam and never associated partners with Allah Almighty. Other Companions mentioned further opinions. Meanwhile, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to them and said: What are you deliberating about? They informed him of their conversation. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Those who will enter Paradise without reckoning or punishment are those who neither get themselves cauterized, nor seek ruqyah (spiritual healing), nor take bad omens, and they put their trust only in their Lord. Sayyiduna Ukasha bin Mihsan Ash’ari (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah! Am I among them? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You are among them. Then another man stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah! Am I also among them? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Ukasha has preceded you.
