Name of Al-Yasa' A (Elisha), a Rasul (Messenger) of Allah (God) is mentioned at two places in the Holy Qur-an.

And remember Isma'il (Ishmael), Al-Yasa' (Elisha) and Dhul-kifl (Isaiah), all are among the best. Surah (Chapter) Sad (The Alphabet Sad) The Qur-an 38:48

And Zakariya (Zachariya), and Yahya (John) and 'Iesa (Jesus) and Iliyas (Elias), each one of them was of the righteous.

And Isma'il (Ishmael) and Al-Yas'a (Elisha), and Yunus (Jonah) and Lout (Lot), and each one of them We preferred above the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns) (of their times).

And also some of their fathers and their progeny and their brethren, We chose them, and We guided them to a Straight Path. Surah (Chapter) Al- An'am (The Cattle) The Qur-an 6:85-87

Al-Yasa' A (Elisha) was the cousin and spiritual successor of the Prophet Iliyas A (Elias).

It is said that one day Al-Yasa' A (Elisha) was ploughing his fields when Iliyas A (Elias) passed from the area. Al-Yasa' A (Elisha) stopped ploughing and began following Al-Yasa' A (Elisha).

liyas A (Elias) asked Al-Yasa' A (Elisha) for the reason of leaving his work? Al-Yasa' A (Elisha) requested Iliyas A (Elias) to stay with him for a while. He slaughtered his ox and cooked the beef for Iliyas A (Elias) and his companions. He was very pleased for his hospitality.

Al-Yasa' A (Elisha) requested Iliyas A (Elias) that he wanted to serve him for the rest of his life. Iliyas A (Elias) made and asked to accompnay him.

When liyas A (Elias) was on his death-bed, he asked Al-Yasa' A (Elisha) whether he wished anything. Al-Yasa' A (Elisha) told him to make Du'a (Supplication) for him that Allah (God) may bestow blessings upon him as He has blessed Iliyas A (Elias).

Iliyas A (Elias) made Du'a (Supplication) for him that Allah (God) appoint Al-Yasa' A (Elisha) as his successor. Allah (God) granted his wish and made Al-Yasa' A (Elisha) as His Rasul (Messenger) after the death of Iliyas A (Elias).
 

Iliyas A (Elias) went around preaching the Message of Allah (God). He came across a community that was starving because of a severe drought. Their land had become barren for lack of water. Al-Yasa' A (Elisha) made Du'a (Supplication) to Allah (God) to show His Mercy to those famine-stricken people. Allah (God) answered his prayers and made that area fertile once again.
