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)}}.

Briefness of the indication of the Qur'an to al-Yasa' and the little information in interpretation and [[hadith]]s sources about him has caused many scholars to consider al-Yasa' a title of another prophet. Some exegetes considered al-Yasa' the same the prophet Yusha' [Joshua], and considered the name al-Yasa' 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.
