The answer

What the preacher mentioned—that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was given the strength of four thousand men—has been mentioned by some scholars, such as Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar in "Al-Fath." This depends on the authenticity of Abu Nu'aim's narration, which has not been definitively ruled as sound or weak. As for preferring the strength of our Prophet over that of Musa, peace be upon him, no text has been reported concerning it. Although Al-Ayni narrated from some of his teachers the superiority of our Prophet in strength over all other prophets, this depends on authentic proof. A Muslim should not occupy himself with such matters from which no practical action results.
