إِنَّآ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْكَ كَمَآ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ نُوحٍ وَٱلنَّبِيِّينَ مِن بَعْدِهِ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ وَإسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَٱلأَسْبَاطِ وَعِيسَىٰ وَأَيُّوبَ وَيُونُسَ وَهَارُونَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ وَآتَيْنَا دَاوُودَ زَبُوراً

Al Qushairi Tafsir

[4:163] We have revealed to you as We revealed to Noah, and the prophets after him, and We revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Tribes, and Jesus and Job and Jonah and Aaron, and Solomon, and We gave to David the Inscribed Book.
The singling out of the Prophet (ṣ) from among the prophets is in [the call to] believe in [all of them] being singularly marked for distinction and merit. He singled out Noah based on what he deserved in station and singled out Our Messenger (ʿa) based on what he deserved. They shared in being singled out because each was an illustration in merit according to station. One was without parallel among his kind in ten virtues, and the other was without parallel among his class in a thousand virtues. The two share equally in singularity but one has ten virtues while the other has a thousand virtues.
