أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْأَحْمَسِيُّ ثنا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ ثنا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنِي حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ حَدَّثَنِي مُدْرِكُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ ذَكْوَانَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ عَنْ كَعْبٍ قَالَ
«ثُمَّ كَانَ إِلْيَاسُ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَاحِبَ جِبَالٍ وَبَرِيِّةٍ يَخْلُو فِيهَا يَعْبُدُ رَبَّهُ وَكَانَ ضَخْمَ الرَّأْسِ خَمِيصَ الْبَطْنِ دَقِيقَ السَّاقَيْنِ وَكَانَ فِي رَأْسِهِ شَامَةٌ حَمْرَاءُ وَإِنَّمَا رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى أَرْضِ الشَّامِ وَلَمْ يَصْعَدْ بِهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَأَوْرَثَ الْيَسَعَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ النُّبُوَّةَ»

✧ Then Ilyas, the Prophet of Allah, was a man of mountains and wilderness, secluding himself therein to worship his Lord. He had a large head, a lean belly, and thin legs, and on his head was a red mole. Allah raised him only to the land of al-Sham and did not ascend with him to heaven, and he bequeathed prophethood after him to al-Yasa'.
