It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Once, in the realm of souls, there was a debate between Hazrat Adam and Hazrat Musa (peace be upon them). Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him) said, "O Adam! Because of your minor mistake, you caused people to be embarrassed and were expelled from Paradise?" Hazrat Adam (peace be upon him) replied, "O Musa, Allah chose you for His prophethood and to speak with Him directly. Do you blame me for something which Allah had decreed for me even before my creation?" In this way, Hazrat Adam (peace be upon him) prevailed over Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him).
