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) – peace be upon him - 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 asked the other, "Why have you
slapped him". He told him the whole story. The Prophet 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." Narrated by Bukhari.

From Muhammad's Life:

embraced Islam. The Prophet (peace be upon him) came out saying:
