Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

Every Prophet is a messenger of Allah and each one of them deserves respect. Muhammad (SAW) is the most superior of all of them as authentically proven. However, when praising one, the others should not be shown disrespect in any way.

And Allah knows best
