There was an argument between Adam and Moses (peace be upon both of them) in the presence of their Lord. Adam came the better of Moses. Moses said: Are you that Adam whom Allah created with His Hand and breathed into himHis sprit, and commanded angels to fall in prostration before him and He made you live in Paradise with comfort and ease. Then you caused the people to get down to the earth because of your lapse. Adam said: Are you that Moses whom Allah selected for His Messengership and for His conversation with him and conferred upon you the tablets, in which everything was clearly explained and granted you the audience in order to have confidential talk with you. What is your opinion, how long Torah would haye been written before I was created? Moses said: Forty years before. Adam said: Did you not see these words: Adam committed an error and he was enticed to (do so). He (Moses) said: Yes. Whereupon, he (Adam) said: Do you then blame me for an act which Allah had ordained for me forty years before He created me? Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: This is how Adam came the better of Moses.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ احْتَجَّ آدَمُ وَمُوسَى عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمَا فَحَجَّ آدَمُ مُوسَى قَالَ مُوسَى أَنْتَ آدَمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ اللَّهُ بِيَدِهِ وَنَفَخَ فِيكَ مِنْ رُوحِهِ وَأَسْجَدَ لَكَ مَلاَئِكَتَهُ وَأَسْكَنَكَ فِي جَنَّتِهِ ثُمَّ أَهْبَطْتَ النَّاسَ بِخَطِيئَتِكَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ فَقَالَ آدَمُ أَنْتَ مُوسَى الَّذِي اصْطَفَاكَ اللَّهُ بِرِسَالَتِهِ وَبِكَلاَمِهِ وَأَعْطَاكَ الأَلْوَاحَ فِيهَا تِبْيَانُ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَقَرَّبَكَ نَجِيًّا فَبِكَمْ وَجَدْتَ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ التَّوْرَاةَ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُخْلَقَ قَالَ مُوسَى بِأَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا قَالَ آدَمُ فَهَلْ وَجَدْتَ فِيهَا { وَعَصَى آدَمُ رَبَّهُ فَغَوَى} قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَفَتَلُومُنِي عَلَى أَنْ عَمِلْتُ عَمَلاً كَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَىَّ أَنْ أَعْمَلَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَنِي بِأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَحَجَّ آدَمُ مُوسَى  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Adam met Musa and said to him, 'Are you Adam whom Allah created with His own hand, and He made you dwell in His Paradise and He made His angels prostrate to you, and then you did what you did?' Adam replied to Musa, 'Are you Musa whom Allah spoke to and revealed the Torah upon? Musa replied, 'Yes.' Adam then asked Musa, 'Do you find that it was written on me to commit that sin before I was created?' Musa replied, 'Yes.' So Adam debated with Musa, and Adam got the better of Musa."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَقِيَ آدَمَ مُوسَى فَقَالَ أَنْتَ آدَمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ اللهُ بِيَدِهِ وَأَسْكَنَكَ جَنَّتَهُ وَأَسْجَدَ لَكَ مَلَائِكَتَهُ ثُمَّ صَنَعْتَ مَا صَنَعْتَ؟ فَقَالَ آدَمُ لِمُوسَى أَنْتَ الَّذِي كَلَّمَه اللهُ وَأَنْزَلَ عَلَيْه التَّوْرَاةَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَهَلْ تَجِدُهُ مَكْتُوبًا عَلَيَّ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُخْلَقَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَحَجَّ آدَمُ مُوسَى فَحَجَّ آدَمُ مُوسَى  

[Machine] "From the Prophet ﷺ , he said: Adam met Moses, so Moses said to him, 'You are Adam, whom Allah created with His own hand, and His angels prostrated to you, and He made you dwell in Paradise. Then you did what you did.' Adam replied, 'You are Moses, whom Allah spoke to and chose for His message, and He revealed the Torah to you. So, am I superior or are you superior?' Moses said, 'No, rather the superiority is for the male.' So, Adam debated with Moses and Moses debated with Adam."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَقِيَ آدَمَ مُوسَى فَقَالَ أَنْتَ آدَمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ اللهُ بِيَدِهِ وَأَسْجَدَ لَكَ مَلَائِكَتَهُ وَأَسْكَنَكَ الْجَنَّةَ ثُمَّ فَعَلْتَ فَقَالَ أَنْتَ مُوسَى الَّذِي كَلَّمَكَ اللهُ وَاصْطَفَاكَ بِرِسَالَتِهِ وَأَنْزَلَ عَلَيْكَ التَّوْرَاةَ ثُمَّ أَنَا أَقْدَمُ أَمِ الذِّكْرُ؟ قَالَ لَا بَلِ الذِّكْرُ فَحَجَّ آدَمُ مُوسَى فَحَجَّ آدَمُ مُوسَى  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ, he said that Adam met Moses and Moses said to him, "You are Adam whom Allah created with His own hands and made you dwell in His Paradise and caused His angels to prostrate before you. Then you disobeyed Him and caused your offspring to be outcast from Paradise." Adam replied, "You are Moses whom Allah chose for His Message and whom He spoke to directly. He brought you near Him as a confidential servant. Yes, you are the one.” Moses asked, "Do you think that you have precedence over me?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "So, Adam overcame Moses in argument”  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَقِيَ آدَمُ مُوسَى صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِمَا فَقَالَ مُوسَى أَنْتَ آدَمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ اللهُ بِيَدِهِ وَأَسْكَنَكَ جَنَّتَهُ وَأَسْجَدَ لَكَ مَلَائِكَتَهُ ثُمَّ فَعَلْتَ مَا فَعَلْتَ فَأَخْرَجْتَ ذُرِّيَّتَكَ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ؟ قَالَ آدَمُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أَنْتَ مُوسَى الَّذِي اصْطَفَاكَ اللهُ بِرِسَالَتِهِ وَكَلَّمَكَ وَقَرَّبَكَ نَجِيًّا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَأَنَا أَقْدَمُ أَمِ الذِّكْرُ؟ قَالَ بَلِ الذِّكْرُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «فَحَجَّ آدَمُ مُوسَى فَحَجَّ آدَمُ مُوسَى فَحَجَّ آدَمُ مُوسَى»  

[Machine] The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said, "Adam met Moses and Moses said to him, 'You are the one who did what you did to us. You were in Paradise and you brought us down to Earth?' Adam, ﷺ , replied, 'Are you Moses, the one whom Allah gave the Torah?' Moses said, 'Yes.' Adam asked him, 'How do you find the Torah, was it written before my creation?' Moses, ﷺ , replied, 'Yes, it was written like this and like that.' Adam then said, 'Did you not find in it my mistake?' Moses said, 'Yes.' Adam said to him, 'So you blame me for something that Allah decreed for me before my creation?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'So Adam overwhelmed Moses with strong arguments.'"  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَقِيَ آدَمُ مُوسَى فَقَالَ لَهُ مُوسَى أَنْتَ الَّذِي فَعَلْتَ بِنَا الْفِعْلَ كُنْتَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَأَهْبَطْتَنَا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ آدَمُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أَنْتَ مُوسَى الَّذِي آتَاكَ اللهُ التَّوْرَاةَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فِي كَمْ تَجِدُ التَّوْرَاةَ كُتِبَتْ قَبْلَ خَلْقِي؟ قَالَ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ بِكَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ آدَمُ فَلَمْ تَجِدْ فِيهَا خَطِيئَتِي؟ قَالَ بَلَى قَالَ فَتَلُومُنِي فِي شَيْءٍ كَتَبَهُ اللهُ عَلَيَّ قَبْلَ خَلْقِي؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «فَحَجَّ آدَمُ مُوسَى فَحَجَّ آدَمُ مُوسَى»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said: Adam met Moses and Moses said to him, "You are the one whom Allah created with His own hands, and He made His angels prostrate to you, and He made you dwell in His Paradise and He taught you the names of all things. Then Allah showed Adam to Moses and said, "O Moses! Do you know anyone more knowledgeable than you?" Moses replied, "No." So, Allah said, "O Moses! Adam has more knowledge than you." Then Adam met Moses and repeated the same question and Adam answered, "No." Allah said, "O Adam! Moses has more knowledge than you."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَقِيَ آدَمُ مُوسَى فَقَالَ مُوسَى يَا آدَمُ أَنْتَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ اللهُ بِيَدِهِ وَأَسْجَدَ لَكَ مَلَائِكَتَهُ وَأَسْكَنَكَ جَنَّتَهُ وَنَفَخَ فِيكَ مِنْ رُوحِهِ قَالَ آدَمُ يَا مُوسَى أَنْتَ الَّذِي اصْطَفَاكَ اللهُ بِرِسَالَاتِهِ وَآتَاكَ التَّوْرَاةَ وَكَلَّمَكَ وَقَرَّبَكَ نَجِيًّا فَأَنَا أَقْدَمُ أَمِ الذِّكْرُ؟ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «فَحَجَّ آدَمُ مُوسَى فَحَجَّ آدَمُ مُوسَى»  

"Adam and Musa argued, Musa said: "O Adam! You are the one that Allah created with His Hand, and blew into you of His Spirit, and you misled the people and caused them to be expelled from Paradise.' So Adam said: 'You are Musa, the one Allah selected with His Speech! Are you blaming me for something I did which Allah had decreed for me, before creating the heavens and the earth?'" He said: " So Adam confuted Musa." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2134)   

"احتج آدم وموسى، فقال موسى: أنتَ آدمُ الذى خلقك الله بِيَدهِ، ونفخ فيكَ من رُوحِه، وَأَسْجَدَ لَكَ مَلَائِكتَه، وأَسَكَنَكَ جَنتهَ، أخرجت الناس من الجنة بذنبك، وَأَشْقَيْتُهُم. قال آدم: يا موسى أنت الذى اصطفاك الله برسلاته وكلامه، وأنزل عليك التوراة، أتلومنى على أمر كَتَبَه اللهُ عليَّ قَبْلَ أن يَخْلُقَنِي؟ فحج آدمُ موسى".  

"لَقِيَ آدَمُ مُوسَى فَقَال مُوسَى: أَنْت آدَمُ الَّدى خلقك اللهُ بِيَدِهِ، وَأَسْكَنَكَ جَنَّتَهُ، واسْجدَ لَكَ مَلائِكَتَهُ، ثمَّ فَعَلتَ مَا فعَلَتَ، فَأخْرَجْتَ ذُرِّيَّتكَ مِنَ الْجَنَّة؟ ، قال آدَمُ: أنت مُوسَى الَّذي اصْطَفَاكَ اللهُ بِرِسَالاتِه، وَكلَّمَكَ وَقرَّبكَ نجِيًا؟ ، قال: نَعَمْ، قال: فأَنا أَقَدَمُ أَم الذِّكْرُ؟ ، قال: بَلْ الذِّكْرُ، فَحَجَّ آدَمُ موسَى، فَحَجَّ آدَم موسَى، فَحَجَّ آدَمُ موسَى".
