[ Allah ] said, "O Moses, I have chosen you over the people with My messages and My words [to you]. So take what I have given you and be among the grateful."
Ibn Kathir
Tafseer 'Ibn Kathir' (EN)
Allah chooses Musa and gives Him the Tablets
Allah says;
قَالَ يَا مُوسَى إِنِّي اصْطَفَيْتُكَ عَلَى النَّاسِ بِرِسَالَاتِي وَبِكَلَمِي
(Allah) said:"O Musa I have chosen you above men by My Messages, and by My speaking (to you).
Allah 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 is the chief of all the Children of Adam, the earlier and later ones among them. This is why Allah has chosen him to be the Final and Last Prophet and Messenger, whose Law shall remain dominant and valid until the commencement of the Last Hour. Muhammad's followers are more numerous than the followers of all Prophets and Messengers. After Muhammad, the next in rank of honor and virtue is Ibrahim upon him be peace,, then Musa, son of Imran, who spoke to the Most Beneficent directly.
Allah commanded Musa, saying,
فَخُذْ مَا اتَيْتُكَ
So hold to that which I have given you,
of My Speech and conversation with you,
وَكُن مِّنَ الشَّاكِرِينَ
and be of the grateful,
for it and do not ask for what is beyond your capacity to bear
