Al-Yasa' is named twice in the Quran. In Surah al-An'am Allah speaks of Isma'il, al-Yasa', Yunus and Lut, and says He preferred each of them above the worlds.
وَإِسۡمَٰعِيلَ وَٱلۡيَسَعَ وَيُونُسَ وَلُوطٗاۚ وَكُلّٗا فَضَّلۡنَا عَلَى ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
“And Ishmael and Elisha and Jonah and Lot - and all [of them] We preferred over the worlds.”
Surah Al-An'am 6:86
Translation: Saheeh International (QuranEnc)
And in Surah Sad Allah tells the Prophet ﷺ to remember Isma'il, al-Yasa' and Dhul-Kifl — each of them among the best.
The Quran does not tell his life in detail. But these two verses teach us something: we may not know the stories of all whom Allah chose, yet honouring them is part of our faith.
