Allah Maɗaukaki ya bayyana:

Allah the Almighty declared:

"Ka tuna Isma'ila da Idris da Zul-Kifli, dukansu suna cikin masu haƙuri."

" Remember Ishmael and Idris and Dhul Kifl, all were from among those who observe patience." (Ch 21:85-86)

Nan da nan bayan labarin Ayyuba a cikin Alƙur'ani, Allah Mai Girma ya kuma umurta:

Immediately following Job's story in the Qur'an, Almighty Allah also directed:

Ka tuna bayinmu Ibrahim, da Ishaƙ, da Ya'aƙub, (dukansu) masu ƙarfi (wajen bautar Mu).

"Remember Our slaves, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (all) owners of strength (in worshipping Us)

da kuma fahimtar addini. Lalle ne, Mun zabe su ta hanyar ba su (abu mai kyau) na tunawa da Gida (a Lahira), kuma suna tunatar da mutane gare shi, kuma suna kiran mutane su yi biyayya ga Allah, su kuma aikata ayyuka nagari domin Lahira.

and also of religious understanding. Verily, We did choose them by granting them (a good thing ) the remembrance of the home (in the Hereafter and they used to make the people remember it and also they used to invite the people to obey Allah and to do good deeds for the Hereafter).

Kuma suna a gabanmu, lalle ne daga zaɓaɓɓu kuma mafifita! Ka tuna Isma'il, da Al-Yasa'u, da Zul-Kifli, dukkansu suna cikin mafifita.

And they are in Our Sight, verily of the chosen and the best! Remember Ishmael, Elisha, and Dhul Kifl all are among the best." (Ch 38:45-48)

A bayyanannen abu ne daga kasancewar an ambace shi kuma an yabe shi a cikin Alkur'ani mai girma tare da waɗancan annabawan cewa Dhul-Kifl ma annabi ne.

It is obvious from his being mentioned and praised in the Glorious Quran along with those other prophets that Dhul - Kifl was also a prophet.

Duk da haka, wasu daga cikin masu tafsirin Alkur'ani sun ɗauka cewa shi ba annabi ba ne, sai dai salihi ne kuma mai adalci sosai.

However, some of the Quranic commentators assumed that he was not a prophet but that he was righteous and strictly just.

Ibn Jarir ya ruwaito cewa shi ba annabi ba ne, amma mutum ne mai adalci. Ya taimaki mutanensa wajen biyan bukatunsu, kuma ya yi musu hukunci da adalci. Shi ya sa aka kira shi Dhul-Kifl.

Ibn Jarir narrated that he was not a prophet but he was a righteous man. He supported his people to suffice their needs and administered justice among them. That is why he was called Dhul - Kifl.

(Dhul-Kifl a zahiri ma'anarsa shi ne "mai, ko mai bayarwa, ninkin lada ko rabo biyu".)

(Dhul - Kifl literally means "possessor of, or giving, a double requital or portion".)
