And the most excellent of the Messengers are the ulul 'azm (the possessors of strong will) from them, and they are five:
Nooh and Ibraaheem and Moosaa and 'Eesaa and Muhammad 'alaiyhimus salaatu min Allaah wat tasleem. And Allaah mentioned them in two places in His book:
1) in (Soorah) al Ahzaab
And (remember) when We took from the prophets their covenant and from you (O Muhammad) and from Nooh and Ibraaheem and Moosaa and 'Eesaa ibn Maryam.
Soorah al Ahzaab (33) aayah 7
 
2) in (Soorah as Shooraa)
He (Allaah) has ordained for you the religion which He ordained for Nooh and that which We revealed to you (O Muhammad) and which We ordained for Ibraaheem and Moosaa and 'Eesaa..
Soorah ash Shooraa (42) aayah 13
 
And the most excellent of them was Muhammad sall Allaahu 'alaiyhi wa sallam according to his sall Allaahu 'alaiyhi wa sallam statement:
I am the noble chief of the people on the Day of Resurrection
(Reported by al Bukhaaree (4712) and Muslim
