Question
Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu can you please list for me the Prophets/Messengers Allah azza wajjal spoke to directly. By directly I mean not via Gibreel Alaihi Salaam. To the best of my knowledge and understanding Moosa alaihi salaam is the only Prophet mentioned in the Quran. Are there any? Please explain Jazakum Allahu Khairan
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
As you mentioned in the question, the Prophet who is mentioned in the Quran that Allaah spoke to him is Moosa (Moses) 
; Allaah Says (what means): {And when Moses arrived at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him…}[Quran 7:143]
Also, in the long Hadeeth of intercession, it is mentioned that Moosa (Moses) was the one to whom Allaah spoke directly.
However, there are other Prophets who were spoken to by Allaah and who were mentioned in the Sunnah, like Aadam . For instance, Abu Tharr 
said that he asked the Prophet about our father Aadam: “Was he a Prophet, O Prophet of Allaah?” Thereupon, the Prophet replied: “Yes, he was a Prophet to whom Allaah spoke (directly).” [Ahmad] Therefore, Aadam was also a Prophet to whom Allaah spoke directly.
In addition to this, Allaah spoke directly to our Prophet Muhammad as it happened in the night of his ascension to the heavens [the night of Israa’ and Mi’raaj].
Allaah Knows best.
