I don't believe in such a thing because every scholar have read and understood the following verse: "Say:- I am but a human being like you. It has been revealed to me that your God is only One God-" (18:110). -
No, it is not because of Prophethood, it is because of the Fadl of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى). This same fadl is given to the Bani Israel: O Children of Israel, remember My favor which I have bestowed upon you and that I preferred you over the worlds.

His covenant with non-muslims found in Cairo Jenizah https://www.jstor.org/stable/1450432?seq=3 -
When you say Musa is 'Greater than' Khidr, greater in what aspect ? You use the term 'greater than' as if we are talking about a mathematical equation. 5 > 4. Yes, this is true because numbers have only one aspect, i.e. their numeric value. That's all. Simple. People are not like that and Prophets, Imam, Awliya Allah, Mumineen, Muminaat are not like that. They have many aspects and many dimensions. People exist on many levels simultaneously. We have the different Nafs (Nafs Al Ammara, Nafs Al Muma'ina, etc), we have the Ruh, the Aql, etc. You forgot the verse in the Holy Quran regarding the Ruh (The spirit) 'We have given you knowledge of it, but only a very little'. In other words, the most important aspect of us, the eternal aspect, i.e. the Ruh we basically don't know anything about. So reducing this to a mathematical equation, IMHO is silly and non productive. If Nabi Musa((عليه السلام)) was greater than Khidr in EVERY ASPECT, then why did Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) make Prophet Musa((عليه السلام)) as a student of Prophet Khidr ? Why did Khidr have knowledge given to him by Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) that Musa didn't know and didn't even have the ability to understand at the time('...you cannot bear this with patience...') ? You're hadith from Bukhari didn't even answer either of these questions. If you attempt to answer these questions you will then have some knowledge which you didn't have before. -
Salam 1) Sorry I don't understand this point. I do not disagree that the Prophet is the best of creation. I am talking about the Shia claim the twelve Imams are better than the Prophets. 2) I do not know what verse you are pointing to at first but that is possible linguistically. However, it would require clear evidence. 3) The verse is saying the same people have been given these things together. As for inheritors of the knowledge the Quran talks about this in a different light. Surah Fatir verse 32 ثُمَّ أَوْرَثْنَا ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱصْطَفَيْنَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ۖ فَمِنْهُمْ ظَالِمٌۭ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ وَمِنْهُم مُّقْتَصِدٌۭ وَمِنْهُمْ سَابِقٌۢ بِٱلْخَيْرَٰتِ بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَضْلُ ٱلْكَبِيرُ ٣٢ Then We caused to inherit the Book those We have chosen of Our servants; and among them is he who wrongs himself [i.e., sins], and among them is he who is moderate, and among them is he who is foremost in good deeds by permission of Allāh. That [inheritance] is what is the great bounty. 4) Again not taking the apparent meaning with no evidence. That is not allowed. The verse itself doesn't make any exceptions of "people chosen" or "people not chosen" hence why that argument can be made.
