Question: Authentic?
AssalaamuAlykom,
Once Musa (AS) askd Allah: O Allah! U have granted me the honor and privilege of talking to you directly, Have you given this privilege to any other person? Allah replied, O! Musa during the last period I am going to send an Ummat, who will be the Ummat of Muh. (SAW) with dry lips, parched tongues, with livers dry and stomachs suffering the pangs of hunger will call out to me (in dua) they will be much closer to me than you O Musa! While you speak to me there are 70000 veils between you & me but at the time of iftaar there will not be a single veil between me & the fasting Ummati of Muh (SAW) O! Musa I have taken upon myself the responsibility that at the time of iftaar I will never refuse the dua of a fasting person!
Answer:
Alaykum as-Salam,
Allah Most High in the Holy Qur’an explicitly described the Prophet Musa, upon him peace, as chosen and elect above the rest of creation and He cites him among the Prophets whom He has highly favored. Imam Ahmad narrated that after his meetings with Allah Most High on Mount Sina, Prophet Musa would remain veiled for forty nights such that no one could look at him without falling dead due to the light from the Lord of the worlds. So the text quoted is inauthentic except for the hadith that there the dua of the fasting person is accepted at the time they break their fast, and Allah knows best.
