'''Al-Yasaʿ (a)''' (Arabic: {{ia|الیسع}}) or '''Elisha''' was among the prophets of [[Israelites]] who was chosen for [[prophethood]] after Prophet [[Ilyas (a)]] [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 al-Yasa' (a) a name for some other figures such as [[Khidr (a)]] and [[Yusha'(a)]] (Joshua). In [[Shi'a]] hadiths, some [[miracle]]s such as curing the ill and walking on water are narrated about him. | '''Al-Yasaʿ (a)''' (Arabic: {{ia|الیسع}}) or '''Elisha''' was among the prophets of [[Israelites]] who was chosen for [[prophethood]] after Prophet [[Ilyas (a)]] [Elijah].

The name of al-Yasa' (a) is mentioned twice in [[Qur'an 6]] and [[Qur'an 38]].

The briefness of the indication of the Qur'an to al-Yasa' (a) and the little information in interpretation and [[hadith]]s sources about him has caused many scholars to identify al-Yasa' (a) with some other prophets. Some exegetes considered al-Yasa' (a) the same the Prophet Yusha' (a) (Joshua), and considered the name al-Yasa' (a) adopted from it. Some considered him to be actually [[Prophet Khidr (a)]]. On the opposite, some others considered him a prophet having this name from the progeny of [[Prophet Abraham (a)]] and one of the prophets of Israelites. | The briefness of the indication of the Qur'an to al-Yasa' (a) and the little information in interpretation and [[hadith]]s sources about him has caused many scholars to identify al-Yasa' (a) with some other prophets.
