وَمَا كُنتَ بِجَانِبِ الْغَرْبِيِّ إِذْ قَضَيْنَا إِلَى مُوسَى الْأَمْرَ وَمَا كُنتَ مِنَ الشَّاهِدِينَ
You were not on the western side when We revealed the commandments to Moses, nor were you among the witnesses.
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 28:44
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 28:44] The valley of Tuwa where Musa was commissioned as prophet is situated in Sinai. Refer to Aqa Puya's note in the commentary of Maryam : 16 to 40. Here, the Holy Prophet is addressed "O Our Messenger Muhammad you were not physically present when Musa was appointed prophet to have witnessed that event to have it related to the people as you do it now." Several generations and a lot of time had passed between Musa and the Holy Prophet yet he had the inspired knowledge of the distant and obscure past. This is to indicate that he is none else other than a prophet of Allah.
