The Holy Quran 28:46 — Surah Al-Qasas

Arabic text

وَمَا كُنتَ بِجَانِبِ ٱلطُّورِ إِذْ نَادَيْنَا وَلَـٰكِن رَّحْمَةً مِّن رَّبِّكَ لِتُنذِرَ قَوْمًا مَّآ أَتَىٰهُم مِّن نَّذِيرٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ

Translation

You were not beside Mount Toor when We called (spoke to Moosa عليه الصلاة والسلام), but you (have knowledge of this incident because you) have been blessed with a mercy (Prophethood) from your Rabb so that you may warn a nation (the people of Makkah) to whom (among whom) a warner (a Nabi) has not come before, so that they may take heed.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

that is, when Musa ﵇ was called: اِنِّيْٓ اَنَا اللّٰهُ رَبُّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ “Indeed, I am Allah, the Lord of the worlds,” you were not standing there listening. It is a favour of Almighty Allah that He informed you of these events and realities and dealt with you in the same manner as had been done with Musa ﵇.
