“Some classical scholars debated whether Dhul-Kifl was a prophet or a uniquely righteous saintly judge, though the majority of Qur'anic commentators group him with the prophets.”
Prophet Dhul-Kifl ﷺ is lauded in Surah Al-Anbiya: 'And [mention] Ishmael and Idris and Dhul-Kifl; all were of the patient. And We admitted them into Our mercy. Indeed, they were of the righteous' (21:85-86). Classical commentators explain his title ('Possessor of the Pledge / Covenant') as reflecting his fidelity in fulfilling covenants, fasting by day, and judging between people without anger.
« وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ وَإِدْرِيسَ وَذَا الْكِفْلِ ۖ كُلٌّ مِّنَ الصَّابِرِينَ وَأَدْخَلْنَاهُمْ فِي رَحْمَتِنَا ۖ إِنَّهُم مِّنَ الصَّالِحِينَ »
