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! Allah created you with His own hand of power and breathed His spirit into you. You made people ashamed and caused them to be expelled from Paradise?" Hazrat Adam (peace be upon him) replied, "O Musa, Allah chose you to speak with Him. Do you blame me for something about which Allah had already decreed concerning me forty years before my creation?" In this way, Hazrat Adam (peace be upon him) prevailed over Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him).
