Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrates that the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "There was a debate between Sayyiduna Adam, peace be upon him, and Sayyiduna Musa, peace be upon him. Sayyiduna Musa, peace be upon him, said: 'Are you that Adam whom Allah created with His own Hand, and into whom He breathed His spirit? Yet you led people astray and caused them to be expelled from Paradise.' Sayyiduna Adam, peace be upon him, replied: 'Are you that Musa whom Allah selected with His word? Are you blaming me for an action which Allah had already written for me before the creation of the heavens and the earth?' The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, said: So Sayyiduna Adam, peace be upon him, prevailed over Sayyiduna Musa, peace be upon him."
