安拉至高无上地宣告：

Allah the Almighty declared:

“你当记念以实玛利、以德里斯和祖勒基福尔，他们都是坚忍的人。”（第21章：85-86节）

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

紧接着《古兰经》中约伯的故事，至能的真主还训示道：

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

请记住我们的仆人易卜拉欣、易斯哈格和叶尔孤白，他们都是有力量（在崇拜我们方面）的人。

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

并且也包括宗教理解。{我确已拣选他们，赐予他们（一种美好的事物），即对后世之家的记念；他们常使人们想起后世，也常召唤人们顺从真主，为后世行善。}

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).

在我看来,他们确实是被拣选且最为优秀的人!你当记念以斯玛仪、以利沙和祖勒基福勒,他们都是最优秀的人。(第38章:45-48节)

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)

显然，从《古兰经》中他与其他先知一同被提及并受到赞扬可以看出，祭道者（Dhul-Kifl）也是一位先知。

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.

然而，一些古兰经注释学家认为他并非先知，而是一位虔诚且严格公正的人。

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

伊本·贾里尔传述说，他并非先知，而是一位虔诚的善人。他帮助自己的族人满足需求，并在他们之间主持公道。因此他被称为“杜勒-基夫勒”。

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 字面意为"拥有或给予双倍报酬或份额者"。）

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