حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " احْتَجَّ آدَمُ وَمُوسَى، قَالَ: فَقَالَ مُوسَى: يَا آدَمُ، أَنْتَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ اللهُ بِيَدِهِ، وَنَفَخَ فِيكَ مِنْ رُوحِهِ، أَغْوَيْتَ النَّاسَ وَأَخْرَجْتَهُمْ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ آدَمُ: أَنْتَ مُوسَى الَّذِي (١) اصْطَفَاكَ اللهُ بِكَلَامِهِ، تَلُومُنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ أَعْمَلُهُ، كَتَبَهُ اللهُ عَلَيَّ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ، قَالَ: فَحَجَّ آدَمُ مُوسَى " (٢)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: Once, in the realm of souls, there was a debate between Adam and Musa (peace be upon them). 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?" 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, Adam (peace be upon him) prevailed over Musa (peace be upon him).
