Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “God the Almighty revealed to Moses: “O' Moses, the son of Imran! Do you know why I chose you from among my servants to send revelations to and to talk to?” Moses said: “O' Lord! I do not know.” God the Almighty said: “O' Moses! I looked upon my servants, and found no one humbler than you to Me. That is why I appointed you to reveal to and talk to.” Imam Sadiq (a.s) added: “Moses never got up from praying before rubbing his right and left cheeks to the ground.”
وقال (عليه السلام): أوحى الله تبارك وتعالى إلى موسى: يا موسى بن عمران، هل تدري لم خصصتك بوحيي وكلامي من بين خلقي؟ قال: لا أعلمه يا رب، قال: يا موسى، إني اطلعت إلى خلقي اطلاعة لم أر في خلقي أشد تواضعا منك لي، فمن ثم خصصتك بوحيي وكلامي، قال: فكان موسى إذا صلى لم ينفتل حتى يضع خده الأيمن بالأرض وخده الأيسر بالأرض.
