Question:
Who are the resolute among the messengers.

Answer:
The non-Arabic prophets: it was said that they are all the prophets, in which case the phrase would be distributive; and it was said that they are five, in which case the phrase would be partitive. These five are Ibrahim, Musa, 'Isa, and Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), as mentioned in His saying:
He has ordained for you of religion what He enjoined upon Noahشَرَعَ لَكُم مِّنَ الدِّينِ مَا وَصَّىٰ بِهِ نُوحًا
[Ash-Shuraa 42:13]
Yes, and the fifth is Nuh. Nuh (peace be upon him) is the fifth.
He has ordained for you of religion what He enjoined upon Noahشَرَعَ لَكُم مِّنَ الدِّينِ مَا وَصَّىٰ بِهِ نُوحًا
[Ash-Shuraa 42:13]
He is
and that which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what We enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and Jesusوَالَّذِي أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ وَمَا وَصَّيْنَا بِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ وَعِيسَىٰ
[Ash-Shuraa 42:13]
. These are the five: Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), Allah is the Greatest. And Ibrahim, Nuh, Musa, and 'Isa, as in His saying:
And [mention, O Muhammad], when We took from the prophets their covenant and from you and from Noah and Abraham and Moses and Jesus, the son of Mary; and We took from them a solemn covenant.وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ مِيثَاقَهُمْ وَمِنكَ وَمِن نُّوحٍ وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ وَعِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ وَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُم مِّيثَاقًا غَلِيظًا
[Al-Ahzab 33:7]
It mentions five: Nuh (peace be upon him), Ibrahim, Musa, 'Isa, and Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), all of them.
