Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books An Enlightening Commentary into the Light of the Holy Qur'an vol.

"Verily We revealed to you as We revealed to Noah and the prophets after him, and We (also) revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isac and Jacob and the Tribes, and Jesus and Job and Jonah and Aaron, and Solomon, and We gave David the Psalms." The names of twenty-five prophets of Allah have been mentioned, in the Qur'an.

Eleven names of these prophets are referred to in the verse under discussion, and the rest of them are: 'Adam, Andreas, Hud, -Salih, Lot, Yusuf (Joseph), Shu'aib (Jethro), Thilkafl, Moses, Elyas (Elija), Yasa' (Elisha), Zakaria (Zachariah), Yahya (John), and 'Uzair (Ezra). Some Islamic recorded traditions denote that whatever had been revealed to the former prophets (as) were revealed to (S), too.

[^1] The Qur'anic term /'asbat/ is a title for those prophets who are the children of Ya'qub (Jacob). The word /zabur/ in philology means 'book', but, as a technical term, it is used for David's Book. Psalms of David can be found in the Books of the Old Testament. This book contains 150 Chapters, each of which is a Psalm. (p.p. 606 to 681 of the Holy Bible).

Here is the verse: "Verily We revealed to you as We revealed to Noah and the prophets after him, and We (also) revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isac and Jacob and the Tribes, and Jesus and Job and Jonoh and Aaron, and Solomon, and We gave David the Psalms." Allah sent down revelations to all prophets one after another.

But here, in this regard, before mentioning the names of some other prophets, Allah says: "We revealed to you.” This precedence may be for the superiority of the holy Prophet's rank. . Explanations In the history of man, revelation and Messenger ship has been an unalterable process and rule. In revelation both aim, and style, and the generality of the content, and the origin of them, wholly is the same; and that origin is Allah.
