Sura 42
Aya 51
51
۞ وَما كانَ لِبَشَرٍ أَن يُكَلِّمَهُ اللَّهُ إِلّا وَحيًا أَو مِن وَراءِ حِجابٍ أَو يُرسِلَ رَسولًا فَيوحِيَ بِإِذنِهِ ما يَشاءُ ۚ إِنَّهُ عَلِيٌّ حَكيمٌ

(Irfan-ul-Quran)

And every man has not (this) faculty that Allah should speak to him (directly) except that by Revelation (He bestows upon some the holy status of Prophethood) or (should talk) from behind a veil (as He spoke to Musa [Moses] on Mount Tur of Sinai) or by sending some angel as a messenger to reveal with His permission what Allah may will. (In any case, the medium and mediation of communication of Allah’s Word for mankind is none but the Prophet and the Messenger.) Surely He is Most High, Most Wise.
