Yahya ibn Habib ibn ‘Arabi narrated to us: Al-Mu‘tamir ibn Sulayman narrated to us: my father narrated to us, from Sulayman al-A‘mash, from Abu Salih, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: ‘Adam and Moses disputed. Moses said, “O Adam, you are the one whom Allah created with His hand and into whom He breathed of His spirit; you led people astray and brought them out of Paradise.” Adam said, “And you are Moses, whom Allah chose through His speech. Do you blame me for an act Allah had decreed for me before He created the heavens and the earth?”’ He said: ‘Thus Adam prevailed over Moses.’ Abu ‘Isa said: There are reports on this topic from ‘Umar and Jundub. This is a hasan sahih gharib hadith through this route, from the hadith of Sulayman al-Taymi, from al-A‘mash. Some of al-A‘mash’s companions narrated it from al-A‘mash, from Abu Salih, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet, with similar wording. Some of them instead narrated it from al-A‘mash, from Abu Salih, from Abu Sa‘id, from the Prophet. This hadith has also been transmitted by more than one route from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet.’
