Honoured remembrance
Al-Yasa Among the Chosen
اليسع
The Quran names Al-Yasa among servants whom Allah favoured, chose, and guided, without narrating a separate episode.
Al-Yasa appears among those favoured and within a company described as chosen and guided to a straight path.
A second passage commands his remembrance with Ismail and Dhul-Kifl and calls them among the best. No further biography is given.
