Stories Of The Prophets In The Qur'an 127

the Tribes were Jews or Christians? Say, 'Do you know better or does
Allah?' Who could do greater wrong than someone who hides the evi-
dence he has been given by Allah? Allah is not unaware of what you
do. (Surat al-Baqara, 140)

THE STORY OF THE PROPHET AYYUB (AS)
Remember Our servant Ayyub when he called on his Lord: 'Satan
has afflicted me with exhaustion and suffering.' (Surah Sâd, 41)
And Ayyub when he called out to his Lord, 'Great harm has afflicted
me and You are the Most Merciful of the merciful,' We responded to him
and removed from him the harm which was afflicting him and restored
his family to him, and the same again with them, as a mercy direct from
Us and a Reminder to all worshippers. (Surat al-Anbiya', 83-84)
'Stamp your foot! Here is a cool bath and water to drink.' We gave
him back his family and the same again with them as a mercy from Us
and a reminder for people of intellect. 'Take a bundle of rushes in your
hand and strike with that but do not break your oath.' We found him
steadfast. What an excellent servant! He truly turned to his Lord.
(Surah Sâd, 42-44)

THE PROPHET DHU'L-KIFL (AS)
And Isma'il and Idris and Dhu'l-Kifl – each one was among the
steadfast. (Surat al-Anbiya', 85)
Remember Our servants Isma'il, Al-Yasa' and Dhu'l-Kifl; each of
them was among the best of men. (Surah Sâd, 48)
