The name of al-Yasa' (a) is mentioned twice in [[Qur'an 6]] and [[Qur'an 38]]. In those [[verse]]s, without mentioning anything about the personality or prophethood of al-Yasa' (a), he is mentioned as "graced"{{enote|and Ishmael, Elisha, Jonah and Lot —each We graced over all the nations— (Qur'an 6:86)}} and "among the elect"{{enote|And remember Ishmael, Elisha and Dhu l-Kifl —each [of whom was] among the elect. (Qur'an 38:48)}}.

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.
