1703. ELISHA (AS) [AL-YASA]

( وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ وَالْيَسَعَ وَيُونُسَ وَلُوطاً وَكُلّاً فَضَّلْنَا عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ)1

“and Ishmael, Elisha, Jonah and Lot - each We graced over all the nations.” 2

5988. الإمامُ الرِّضا عليه السلام - فيما احتَجَّ بهِ على‏ جاثلِيقِ النَّصارى‏ - : إنّ اليَسَعَ قد صَنَعَ مِثلَ ما صَنَعَ عيسى‏ عليه السلام : مَشى‏ علَى الماءِ ، وأحيا المَوتى‏ ، وأبرَأ الأكمَهَ والأبرَصَ ، فلَم تَتَّخِذْهُ اُمّتُهُ رَبّاً3

5988. Imam al-Rida (AS) - debating with the leader of the Christians, said, 'Elisha (AS) did the same as what Jesus had done (AS) - he walked on water, revived the dead, healed the blind and the leper, but his people did not take him as a god.'4
