Tafsir "Ibn Kathir" (English)

Mentioning Musa and Harun After Allah had mentioned Ibrahim, the Friend of Allah, and commended him, he next mentioned Al-Kalim (the one spoken to by Allah directly).Allah said,وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتَابِ مُوسَى إِنَّهُ كَانَ مُخْلَصًاAnd mention in the Book, Musa. Verily, he was Mukhlasan,Ath-Thawri reported from Abdul-Aziz bin Rafi`, from Abu Lubabah that he said,"The Disciples (of `Isa) said, `O Spirit of Allah, inform us about the one who is Mukhlis (purely devoted) to Allah.'He said, `That is one who does a deed solely for Allah and he does not like for the people to praise him."'Others recited the word as Mukhlas,which means that he was chosen.This is as Allah says,إِنْى اصْطَفَيْتُكَ عَلَى النَّاسِVerily, I have chosen you above men. (7:144)Concerning Allah's statement,وَكَانَ رَسُولاً نَّبِيًّاand he was a Messenger, (and) a Prophet.Allah combined these two descriptions for him. For verily, he was one of the greatest Messengers and one of the five Messengers of Strong Will. They are; Nuh, Ibrahim, Musa, `Isa and Muhammad. May the blessings of Allah be upon them and all of the Prophets.Allah said
