Once while a Jew was selling something, he was offered a price that he was not pleased with. So, he said, "No, by Him Who gave Moses superiority over all human beings!" Hearing him, an Ansari man got up and slapped him on the face and said, "You say: By Him Who Gave Moses superiority over all human beings although the Prophet (Muhammad) is present amongst us!" The Jew went to the Prophet and said, "O Abu-l-Qasim! I am under the assurance and contract of security, so what right does so-and-so have to slap me?" The Prophet ﷺ asked the other, "Why have you slapped". He told him the whole story. The Prophet ﷺ became angry, till anger appeared on his face, and said, "Don't give superiority to any prophet amongst Allah's Prophets, for when the trumpet will be blown, everyone on the earth and in the heavens will become unconscious except those whom Allah will exempt. The trumpet will be blown for the second time and I will be the first to be resurrected to see Moses holding Allah's Throne. I will not know whether the unconsciousness which Moses received on the Day of Tur has been sufficient for him, or has he got up before me. And I do not say that there is anybody who is better than Yunus bin Matta."  

البخاري:٣٤١٤حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ عَنِ اللَّيْثِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ قَالَ

بَيْنَمَا يَهُودِيٌّ يَعْرِضُ سِلْعَتَهُ أُعْطِيَ بِهَا شَيْئًا كَرِهَهُ فَقَالَ لاَ وَالَّذِي اصْطَفَى مُوسَى عَلَى الْبَشَرِ فَسَمِعَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَقَامَ فَلَطَمَ وَجْهَهُ وَقَالَ تَقُولُ وَالَّذِي اصْطَفَى مُوسَى عَلَى الْبَشَرِ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا فَذَهَبَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ إِنَّ لِي ذِمَّةً وَعَهْدًا فَمَا بَالُ فُلاَنٍ لَطَمَ وَجْهِي فَقَالَ لِمَ لَطَمْتَ وَجْهَهُ فَذَكَرَهُ فَغَضِبَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى رُئِيَ فِي وَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لاَ تُفَضِّلُوا بَيْنَ أَنْبِيَاءِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُنْفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ فَيَصْعَقُ مَنْ فِي السَّمَوَاتِ وَمَنْ فِي الأَرْضِ إِلاَّ مَنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ يُنْفَخُ فِيهِ أُخْرَى فَأَكُونُ أَوَّلَ مَنْ بُعِثَ فَإِذَا مُوسَى آخِذٌ بِالْعَرْشِ فَلاَ أَدْرِي أَحُوسِبَ بِصَعْقَتِهِ يَوْمَ الطُّورِ أَمْ بُعِثَ قَبْلِي وَلَا أَقُولُ إِنَّ أَحَدًا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ مَتَّى

While a Jew was selling goods, he was given something which he did not accept or he did not agree (to accept) that 'Abdul 'Azlz (one of the narrators) is doubtful about it. He (the Jew) said: By Allah, Who chose Moses (peace be upon him) among mankind. A person from the Ansar heard it and gave a blow at his face saying: (You have the audacity) to say: By Him Who chose Moses amongst mankind, whereas Messenger of Allah ﷺ is living amongst us. The Jew went to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: Abu'l-Qasim, I am a Dhimmi and (thus need your protection) by a covenant, and added: Such and such person has given a blow upon my face. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Why did you give a blow on his face? He said: Messenger of Allah, this man said: By Him Who chose Moses (peace be upon him) amongst mankind, whereas you are living amongst us. Messenger of Allah ﷺ became angry and signs of anger could be seen on his face, and then said: Don't make distinction amongst the Prophets of Allah. When the horn will be blown and whatever is in the heavens and the earth would swoon but he whom Allah grants exception, then another horn will be blown and I would be the first amongst those who would recover and Moses (peace be upon him) would be catching hold of the Throne and I do not know whether it is a compensation for that when he swooned on the Day of Tur or he would be resurrected before me and I do not say that anyone is more excellent than Yunus son of Matta (peace he upon him).

“A Jewish man said in the marketplace of Al-Madinah: ‘By the One Who chose Musa above all of mankind.’ An Ansari man raised his hand and slapped him. He said: ‘How dare you say this when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is among us?’ Mention of that was made to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said: ‘Allah says: “And the trumpet will be blown, and all who are in the heavens and all who are on the earth will swoon away, except him whom Allah wills. Then it will be blown a second time, and behold they will be standing, looking on (waiting).” [39:68] I will be the first one to raise his head, and I will see Musa holding on to one of the pillars of the Throne, and I do not know whether he will have raised his head before me, or he will be one of those whom Allah exempts. And whoever says that I am better than Yunus bin Matta, he is lying.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4274)

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said: "Do not differentiate between the Prophets of Allah, for when the trumpet is blown, everyone in the heavens and on earth will be struck dead except whomever Allah wills. Then it will be blown again, and I will be the first one to be resurrected. When Moses ﷺ is holding on to the Throne, I do not know whether I will be questioned about the thunderbolt at Mount Tur, or whether I will be resurrected before him. And I do not say that anyone is better than Jonah, son of Matta."
