Did Moses Have A Speech Impediment?

Acts 7:22 when it says "he was mighty in his words and deeds", means he was truthful when he spoke and his deeds we're great. Many contradictions in the Bible but these two passeges aren't one of them. Nabi Musa(alaihi salaam) didn't have a speech impediment, when he was a child he burnt his tounge on a hot peace of coal. A test from the Pharaoh to see if he could tell the difference between a bowl of hot coals and a bowl of jewels and gold after grabbing the Pharaoh's beard and smacking him in the face. when he began to reach for the jewels and gold Angel Jibreel guided Musa (peace be upon him) hand to the bowl of hot coals. Afterwards putting it into his mouth and burning his own tounge. The Pharaoh spared Musa's life thinking if he couldn't tell the difference between hot coals and jewels then he was no threat to the Pharaoh himself

Exodus 4:10 says that when God asked Moses to speak for him, Moses came up with the excuse that he was “slow of speech and tongue.” Some Bible commentators have suggested that Moses might have suffered from some sort of speech impediment. However, it’s more likely that Moses was simply resisting God because he was unwilling to return to Pharaoh’s court and stand up for the Hebrew slaves.
What we do know about Moses is that he was brought up as the adopted son of Pharaoh’s daughter and would have benefitted from the finest education. That’s why Acts 7:22 says Moses was instructed “in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was mighty in his words and deeds.” That is not a contradiction of what Moses said in Exodus 4:10. The events that led up to the exodus of the Hebrews out of Egypt testify to the fact that God used Moses and his brother in the outworking of His divine plans. It was God who enabled Moses. Moses’ feeble excuse that he was “slow of speech and tongue” didn’t work. In spite of Moses’ failings, God saw fit to use him and to empower him. Because God was with Moses then no impediment, real or imagined, would stand in God’s way.
