حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ. ح وحَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ الْمَعْنَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏سَمِعَ طَاوُسًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يُخْبِرُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ احْتَجَّ آدَمُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمُوسَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ مُوسَى:‏‏‏‏ يَا آدَمُ أَنْتَ أَبُونَا خَيَّبْتَنَا وَأَخْرَجْتَنَا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ آدَمُ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْتَ مُوسَى اصْطَفَاكَ اللَّهُ بِكَلَامِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَخَطَّ لَكَ التَّوْرَاةَ بِيَدِهِ تَلُومُنِي عَلَى أَمْرٍ قَدَّرَهُ عَلَيَّ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَنِي بِأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَحَجَّ آدَمُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏مُوسَى ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ:‏‏‏‏ عَنْعَمْرٍو، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ.

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم as saying: Adam and Moses held a disputation. Moses said: Adam you are our father. You deprived us and caused us to come out from Paradise. Adam said: You are Moses Allah chose you for his speech and wrote the Torah for you with his hand. Do you blame me for doing a deed which Allah had decreed that I should do forty year before he created me? So Adam got the better of Moses in argument. Ahmad bin Salih said from Amr from Tawus who heard Abu Hurairah.
