'''Al-Yasaʿ (a)''' (Arabic: {{ia|الیسع}}) or '''Elisha''' was among the prophets of [[Israelites]] who was chosen for [[prophethood]] after prophet [[Elyas]] [Elijah]. His name is mentioned in the [[Qur'an]] twice; and the [[Bible]] has introduced him in more details comparing to the Qur'an. Some [[exegetes]] of the Qur'an considered Alyasa' a name for some other figures such as [[Khidr]] and [[Yusha']] [Joshua]. In [[Shi'a]] hadiths, some [[miracle]]s such as curing the ill and walking on water are narrated about him.

== Personality ==
== Personality ==
The name of Alyasa' is mentioned twice in the Qur'an in [[sura]]s [[Sura al-An'am|al-An'am]] and [[Sura Sad|Sad]]. In those [[verse]]s, without mentioning anything about the personality or prophethood of Alyasa', he is mentioned as "exalted" and "among the excellent". Briefness of the indication of the Qur'an to Alyasa' and the little information in interpretation and [[hadith]]s sources about him has caused many scholars to consider him a name for some other prophets.
The name of al-Yasa' is mentioned twice in [[Quran 6]] and [[Quran 38]]. In those [[verse]]s, without mentioning anything about the personality or prophethood of al-Yasa', he is mentioned as "graced"{{enote|and Ishmael, Elisha, Jonah and Lot —each We graced over all the nations— (Quran 6:86)}} and "among the elect"{{enote|And remember Ishmael, Elisha and Dhu l-Kifl —each [of whom was] among the elect. (Quran 38:48)}}.  


Some exegetes considered Alyasa' the same the prophet Yusha' [Joshua], and considered the name Alyasa' adopted from it. Some considered him to be actually Prophet Khidr. On the opposite, some others considered him a prophet having this name from the progeny of [[Ibrahim|Abraham]] (a) and one of the prophets of Israelites.

In his youth, when Alyasa' had become ill, regained his health through the prayer of Elyas and afterwards became his disciple and accompanied him everywhere. After Elyas ascended to the skies, Alyasa' was chosen for [[prophethood]]. Based on hadiths, the conditions of observing religion changed in his time. Ahab, the king of Israelites and his wife who led people toward idol-worshipping perished at the time of Alyasa'. Also during his prophethood, many of [[Israelites]] accepted his invitation.
