Asalamu Sheikh Yusuf and fellow students.
I just wanted to share some interesting further insight into this Hadith which i came across. It shows us that the Sahaba disliked any suggestion that someone could know more than the Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him).
I have attached screenshots of a passage from a small work on this Hadith by Dr Ather Hussain, an Alim from the UK. I wanted to share this so the other students can benefit. I hope it helps.
