85. 1. There is a difference of opinion regarding Dhul-Kifl as to whether he was a prophet or not. Some have affirmed his prophethood and some his sainthood. Imam Ibn Jarir has chosen to withhold judgment regarding him, while Imam Ibn Kathir states that his mention alongside the prophets in the Quran indicates his being a prophet. And Allah knows best.
