Is the Hadith, a part of which is recalled, "If Moses (peace be upon him) were alive, he would have no choice but to follow me," authentic?
The text of the that was asked about is from Jabir ibn Abdullah, relating that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, became angry when Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, came to him and asked him about writing down the narrations of the Jews. The Prophet said: "Are you confused, as the Jews and Christians were confused? I have brought it to you pure and clear. If Moses were alive, he would have no choice but to follow me." Narrated by Ahmad and Al-Bayhaqi, and it is a (good) Hadith. Another narration states that the Prophet became angry when he saw a scroll from the Torah with Umar and said: "Are you in doubt, O son of Khattab? Have I not brought it pure and clear? If my brother Moses were alive, he would have no choice but to follow me."
