Does Allah make distinctions between his messengers?

Does Allah make distinctions between His messengers?

Yes.

2:253

Of those messengers, some of whom We have caused to excel others, and of whom there are some unto whom Allah spake, while some of them He exalted (above others) in degree.

No.

2:285

We make no distinction between any of His messengers

The quote is a prayer of which Muslims recite and say "We make no distinction between any of His (God's) messengers." (Notice the "His", this isn't God's words) whereas the other is God saying He has caused some to excel the others.

There's no contradiction because Muslims don't "make no distinction between any of His messengers.", not God. (BowofHak)
