Dhul-Kifl is named twice in the Quran, both times alongside other prophets. The Quran does not tell the events of his life; it tells us who he was.
وَإِسۡمَٰعِيلَ وَإِدۡرِيسَ وَذَا ٱلۡكِفۡلِۖ كُلّٞ مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ وَأَدۡخَلۡنَٰهُمۡ فِي رَحۡمَتِنَآۖ إِنَّهُم مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ
“And [mention] Ishmael and Idrees and Dhul-Kifl; all were of the patient. And We admitted them into Our mercy. Indeed, they were of the righteous.”
Surah Al-Anbya 21:85–86
Translation: Saheeh International (QuranEnc)
In Surah Sad Allah tells the Prophet ﷺ to remember Isma'il, al-Yasa' and Dhul-Kifl — each of them among the best.
وَٱذۡكُرۡ إِسۡمَٰعِيلَ وَٱلۡيَسَعَ وَذَا ٱلۡكِفۡلِۖ وَكُلّٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَخۡيَارِ
“And remember Ishmael, Elisha and Dhul-Kifl, and all are among the outstanding.”
Surah Sad 38:48
Translation: Saheeh International (QuranEnc)
Some say the name means 'the one with a charge' or 'a share'; but we have no reliable account of his life. What we know is enough: he was patient, he was righteous, and Allah admitted him into His mercy.
