"ولم يقع في القرآن الخطاب (يا محمد) بل (يا ايها النبي) (يا ايها الرسول)؛ تعظيما له وتشريفا و تخصيصا بذلك عمن سواه و تعليما للمؤمنين ألا ينادوه باسمه"

Itqaan as-Suyootee – v4, p1495
al-Imaam as-Suyootee said:
There does not occur in the Qur.aan an address of “O Muhammad”, rather [there is] “O Prophet” and “O Messenger”; and this is out of veneration and honouring him, and to distinguish him from everyone else, and to teach the believers not to call him by his name.
