The Difference in Status of the Prophet (s.a.w.) & Moses (a.s.)

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

When Moses (a.s.) was Sent to Pharaoh, he made this du’a: 

سُوۡرَةُ طٰه

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱشۡرَحۡ لِى صَدۡرِى (٢٥) وَيَسِّرۡ لِىٓ أَمۡرِى (٢٦) وَٱحۡلُلۡ عُقۡدَةً۬ مِّن لِّسَانِى (٢٧) يَفۡقَهُواْ قَوۡلِى (٢٨) 

... “O my Lord!  Expand me my breast; Ease my task for me; and Remove the impediment from my speech so they may understand what I say.” (Surah ThaHa:25-28) 

When our Prophet (s.a.w.) was Sent on his mission, Allah (s.w.t.) Reveals this: 

سُوۡرَةُ الشَّرح

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

أَلَمۡ نَشۡرَحۡ لَكَ صَدۡرَكَ (١) وَوَضَعۡنَا عَنكَ وِزۡرَكَ (٢) ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهۡرَكَ (٣)وَرَفَعۡنَا لَكَ ذِكۡرَكَ (٤) 

Have We not Expanded for you your breast?  And Removed, from you, your burden, that which did gall your back?  And Raised high the esteem (in which) you (were held)? (Surah ash-Sharh:1-4) 

Therein lies the difference in status.
