Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Allah chooses Musa and gives Him the TabletsAllah states that He spoke to Musa directly and informed him that He has chosen him above the people of his time, by His Message and by speaking to him. Here we should mention that there is no doubt that Muhammad ﷺ is the chief of all the Children of Adam, the earlier and later ones among them.
