[Machine] Then Elijah, the Prophet of Allah, was a companion of mountains and deserts in which he secluded himself to worship his Lord. He had a large head, wide chest, thin calves, and there was a red mole on his head. Allah raised him to the land of Sham (Syria), but he did not ascend to the heavens. He left behind him the prophethood to be inherited by Al-Yasa' (Elisha) after him.  

الحاكم:٤١١٩أَخْبَرَنِي 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»
