[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, Allah chose Musa with His speech and Ibrahim with His close friendship."  

الحاكم:٤٠٩٨ – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الثَّقَفِيُّ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْحُلْوَانِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَى مُوسَى بِالْكَلَامِ وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ بِالْخَلَّةِ»  

هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الْبُخَارِيِّ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُعلى شرط البخاري

[Machine] Indeed, Allah has chosen Ibrahim for His intimate friendship, and He has chosen Musa for His direct speech, and He has chosen Muhammad for His visions.  

الطبراني:١١٩١٤ – حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ثنا عَاصِمُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ثنا قَيْسُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

«إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ اصْطَفَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ بِالْخُلَّةِ وَاصْطَفَى مُوسَى بِالْكَلَامِ وَاصْطَفَى مُحَمَّدًا بِالرُّؤْيَةِ»
