Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

Two persons, a Muslim and a Jew, quarrelled. The Muslim said, "By Him Who
gave Muhammad superiority over all the people! The Jew said, "By Him Who
gave Moses superiority over all the people!" At that the Muslim raised his
hand and slapped the Jew on the face. The Jew went to the Prophet
(Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) and informed him of what had happened
between him and the Muslim. The Prophet sent for the Muslim and asked him
about it. The Muslim informed him of the event. The Prophet (Sallallahu
'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Do not give me superiority over Moses, for on the
Day of Resurrection all the people will fall unconscious and I will be one
of them, but I will be the first to gain consciousness, and will see Moses
standing and holding the side of the Throne (of Allah). I will not know
whether (Moses) has also fallen unconscious and got up before me, or Allah
has exempted him from that stroke."

Bukhari Vol. 3 : No. 594
