The ProphetsNo. 16
ذُو الْكِفْل
Named alongside Isma'il and Idris; each of them was among the patient.
Dhul-Kifl is named twice in the Quran: among the patient, with Isma'il and Idris (21:85), and among the best, with Isma'il and al-Yasa' (38:48). The Quran tells no story of his.
Most commentators, among them Ibn Kathir, held that he was a prophet, since he is named among prophets. Mujahid held that he was a righteous man who undertook to judge his people justly, and al-Tabari did not decide. A narration about a man called "al-Kifl" is, according to Ibn Kathir, probably about someone else.
وَإِسْمَـٰعِيلَ وَإِدْرِيسَ وَذَا ٱلْكِفْلِ ۖ كُلٌّ مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ ٨٥
And [mention] Ishmael and Idrees and Dhul-Kifl; all were of the patient.

85. And (remember) Ismâ‘îl (Ishmael), and Idrîs (Enoch) and Dhul-Kifl (Isaiah): all were from among As-Sâbirûn (the patient).
وَٱذْكُرْ إِسْمَـٰعِيلَ وَٱلْيَسَعَ وَذَا ٱلْكِفْلِ ۖ وَكُلٌّ مِّنَ ٱلْأَخْيَارِ ٤٨
And remember Ishmael, Elisha and Dhul-Kifl, and all are among the outstanding.
