48وَاذكُر إِسماعيلَ وَاليَسَعَ وَذَا الكِفلِ ۖ وَكُلٌّ مِنَ الأَخيارِAli UnalAnd also remember Ishmael and al-Yasa‘a (Isaiah),1 and Dhu’l-Kifl.2 Every one of them is of the truly good.Al-Yasa’a, who is also mentioned in 6: 86, is most probably Isaiah, upon him be peace, in the Bible. He succeeded the Prophet Ilyās (Elijah), upon him be peace, and put up a fierce struggle against worshipping the idol Ba’l in Israel. However, after his death, idol-worship and evils re-appeared in Israel, and this was followed by attacks from the Assyrians. After a series of attacks, the ruthless Assyrian king, Sargon, put an end to the kingdom of Israel in 721 bc.On Dhu’l-Kifl, see 21: 85, note 17.
