وَأَدْخَلْنَـٰهُمْ فِى رَحْمَتِنَآ ۖ إِنَّهُم مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ
Translations
And We admitted them into Our mercy. Indeed, they were of the righteous.que Nous fîmes entrer en Notre miséricorde car ils étaient vraiment du nombre des gens de bien.Tafsir
I enveloped them into My Mercy: I made them prophets and granted them entry into paradise. Indeed, they were from those pious servants of Mine who acted within My obedience, and whose private and public lives were ones of piety.
Read Ibn Kathir (Ibn Kathir (abridged, English))
And (remember) Isma'il, Idris and Dhul-Kifl: All were from among the patient (85)And We admitted them to Our mercy. Verily, they were of the righteous (86)
Isma'il, Idris and Dhul-Kifl
Isma'il was the son of Ibrahim Al-Khalil, peace be upon them both. He has already been mentioned in Surah Maryam, where mention was also made of Idris. From the context and the fact that Dhul-Kifl is mentioned alongside Prophets, it appears that he was also a Prophet. Others say that he was a righteous man, a just king and a fair judge. Ibn Jarir refrained from making any decisive comment. And Allah knows best.
