He said: I heard a man. He recited a verse in a way different from how I had heard that verse from the Prophet (saw). I took hold of his hand and brought him to the Messenger of Allah (saw). He (saw) said: “Both of you recite correctly.” Shu'bah said: I think he (saw) also said: “Do not differ among yourselves, for those who were before you differed among themselves and were destroyed.”

Yahya bin Qaza'ah narrated to us that Ibrahim bin Sa'd told us. He narrated from Ibn Shihab, Ibn Shihab from Abu Salamah and Abdur Rahman A'raj, they from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (ra). He said that two persons abused each other. One was a Muslim and one a Jew. The Muslim said: By Him Who chose Hazrat Muhammad (saw), considering him the best of all peoples. Then the Jew said: By Him Who chose Hazrat Moses (as), considering him the best of all peoples. Thereupon the Muslim raised his hand and slapped the Jew on the face. That Jew went to the Prophet (saw) and related the incident that had passed between him and the Muslim. The Prophet (saw) called that Muslim and asked him about this (complaint). He related the whole occurrence to him (saw), and the Prophet (saw) said: “Do not give me superiority over Moses (as), for people will fall unconscious on the Day of Resurrection. I too will fall unconscious with them, and I will be the first to regain consciousness. Then what will I see but Moses (as) holding a leg of the Divine Throne. I do not know whether he too was among those who fell unconscious and then regained consciousness before me, or whether he was among those whom Allah had excepted.”

He narrated from his father, his father from Hazrat Abu Sa'id Khudri (ra), that he said: Once the Messenger of Allah (saw) was sitting when a Jew came and said: O Abul Qasim, a man from among your companions has slapped me on the face. He (saw) asked: “Who?” He said: A man from the Ansar. He (saw) said: “Call him.” (When he came) he (saw) asked (him): “Did you strike him?” He replied: I heard him (the Jew) swearing in the market: By Him Who chose Hazrat Moses (as), considering him better than all people. I said: O wicked one, over Hazrat Muhammad (saw) too? I became angry and slapped him on the face. The Prophet (saw) said: “Do not give the prophets superiority over one another (in this way), for people will fall unconscious on the Day of Resurrection, and I will be the first to come out when the earth splits open, and what will I see but Moses (as) holding one of the legs of the Throne. I do not know whether he was among those who fell unconscious, or whether the earlier swoon was considered sufficient for him.”
