surah shura aya 51 , English translation of the meaning Ayah.
﴿۞ وَمَا كَانَ لِبَشَرٍ أَن يُكَلِّمَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَّا وَحْيًا أَوْ مِن وَرَاءِ حِجَابٍ أَوْ يُرْسِلَ رَسُولًا فَيُوحِيَ بِإِذْنِهِ مَا يَشَاءُ ۚ إِنَّهُ عَلِيٌّ حَكِيمٌ﴾
[ الشورى: 51]
42:51 And it is not for any human being that Allah should speak to him except by revelation or from behind a partition or that He sends a messenger to reveal, by His permission, what He wills. Indeed, He is Most High and Wise.
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishIt is not correct for a human being that Allah speaks to Him except through revelation that He sends to him, or by direct speech but from behind a veil without seeing Him, or by sending an angel as a messenger such as Gabriel, who then reveals to the human messenger with Allah’s permission what Allah wishes to reveal.
He, ( may He be glorified ), is high in His Self and Attributes, and is wise in His creation, decree and laws.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
It is not given to any human being that Allah should speak to him unless (it be) by Inspiration, or from behind a veil, or (that) He sends a Messenger to reveal what He wills by His Leave. Verily, He is Most High, Most Wise.

Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri
It is not given to any human being that Allah should speak to him unless (it be) by revelation, or from behind a veil, or (that) He sends a Messenger to reveal what He wills by His leave. Verily, He is Most High, Most Wise.

42:51 And it is not for any human being that Allah should speak translate in arabic
وما كان لبشر أن يكلمه الله إلا وحيا أو من وراء حجاب أو يرسل رسولا فيوحي بإذنه ما يشاء إنه علي حكيم
سورة: الشورى - آية: ( 51 ) - جزء: ( 25 ) - صفحة: ( 488 )Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
No human would qualify to be spoken to directly by Allah without the intervention of a medium, nor is it befitting; but only by inspiration or vision, or from behind a veil or through a spirit who would actuate him with what Allah has ordained and with what He will; He is indeed ?Aliyun (Supreme) above all and beyond all and He is Hakimun (the Source of wisdom and wise mysterious dispensations)
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(42:51) It *78 is not given to any human being that Allah should speak to him except through revelation, *79 or from behind a veil, *80 or that a messenger (an angel) be sent to him who reveals to him by Allah's leave whatever He wishes. *81 He is All-High, Most Wise. *82
And it is not for any human being that Allah should speak meaning
*78) In conclusion, the same theme with which the discourse began has been reiterated. To understand it fully, please see the first verse of this Surah and the E.N. on it.
*79) Here, wahi means to inspire somebody with something, or to show something to somebody in a vision as were the Prophets Abraham and Joseph shown, (Yusuf: 4, 100; As-Saaffat: 102).
*80) That is, "One may hear a voice without seeing the speaker, just as it happened in the case of the Prophet Moses when he suddenly began to hear a voice from a tree on Mount Tur, while the Speaker was hidden from him." (Ta Ha: 11-48, An-Naml: 8-12, Al-Qasas: 30 35).
*81) This is the form of wahi by which all Divine Scriptures have actually reached the Prophets of Allah. Some people have misinterpreted this sentence and given it this meaning Allah sends a messenger who by His Command conveys His message to the common people." But the words of the Qur'an fa-yuhiya biidhni-hi ma yasha'u (then He reveals by His Command whatever He wills) show that this interpretation is absolutely wrong. The Prophets' preaching before the common people has neither been called wahi anywhere in the Qur'an, nor is there any room in Arabic for describing a man's speaking to another man openly by the word wahi'. Lexically, wahi means secret and swift instruction. Only an ignorant person will apply this word to the common preaching by the Prophets.
And it is not for any human being that Allah should speak meaning in Urdu
کسی بشر کا یہ مقام نہیں ہے کہ اللہ اُس سے روبرو بات کرے اُس کی بات یا تو وحی (اشارے) کے طور پر ہوتی ہے، یا پردے کے پیچھے سے، یا پھر وہ کوئی پیغام بر (فرشتہ) بھیجتا ہے اور وہ اُس کے حکم سے جو کچھ وہ چاہتا ہے، وحی کرتا ہے، وہ برتر اور حکیم ہے
