Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is there any evidence in the pure Shari'ah specifying the names of the Resolute Messengers?
Answer:
Yes, the Qur'an names eighteen of them, as in Surat al-An'am. As in Surat al-An'am. In His saying, Glorified and Exalted is He:[Al-An'am 6:84-86] Allah named them in these verses.
And in Surat al-Nisa'[An-Nisa 4:163], and Ayyub, Yunus, Musa, Harun, and Sulayman, and We gave Dawud the Zabur. So Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He, named a group of them in the Qur'an. We believe in them by their names, and as for those not named by Allah, we believe in them collectively even if we do not know their names. [Ghafir 40:78].
He asks about the names of the Resolute Messengers. The Resolute Messengers, as mentioned previously, are those mentioned in Surat al-Ahzab, as in His saying, Glorified and Exalted is He:[Al-Ahzab 33:7] [Al-Ahzab 33:7] These are five.
And in Surat al-Shura[Ash-Shuraa 42:13] These are the five who are the Resolute. It is also said that the Resolute are all the messengers.
All the messengers are called the Resolute, but the well-known first position is that they are the five. Yes.

Yes, the Qur'an names eighteen of them, as in Surat al-An'am. As in Surat al-An'am. In His saying, Glorified and Exalted is He:
and among his descendants, David and Solomon and Job and Joseph and Moses and Aaron. Thus do We reward the doers of good. (85) And Zechariah and John and Jesus and Elias - and all were of the righteous. (86) And Ishmael and Elisha and Jonah and Lot - and all [of them] We preferred over the worlds.
وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِ دَاوُودَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ وَأَيُّوبَ وَيُوسُفَ وَمُوسَىٰ وَهَارُونَ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ وَزَكَرِيَّا وَيَحْيَىٰ وَعِيسَىٰ وَإِلْيَاسَ كُلٌّ مِّنَ الصَّالِحِينَ وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ وَالْيَسَعَ وَيُونُسَ وَلُوطًا وَكُلًّا فَضَّلْنَا عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَAnd in Surat al-Nisa'
Indeed, We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], as We revealed to Noah and the prophets after him. And we revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, the Descendants
إِنَّا أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ كَمَا أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَىٰ نُوحٍ وَالنَّبِيِّينَ مِن بَعْدِهِ وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَالْأَسْبَاطِAnd We have already sent messengers before you. Among them are those [whose stories] We have related to you, and among them are those [whose stories] We have not related to you.
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلًا مِّن قَبْلِكَ مِنْهُم مَّن قَصَصْنَا عَلَيْكَ وَمِنْهُم مَّن لَّمْ نَقْصُصْ عَلَيْكَHe asks about the names of the Resolute Messengers. The Resolute Messengers, as mentioned previously, are those mentioned in Surat al-Ahzab, as in His saying, Glorified and Exalted is He:
And [mention, O Muhammad], when We took from the prophets their covenant and from you and from Noah and Abraham and Moses and Jesus
وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ مِيثَاقَهُمْ وَمِنكَ وَمِن نُّوحٍ وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ وَعِيسَىAnd [mention, O Muhammad], when We took from the prophets their covenant and from you and from Noah and Abraham and Moses and Jesus, the son of Mary; and We took from them a solemn covenant.
وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ مِيثَاقَهُمْ وَمِنكَ وَمِن نُّوحٍ وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ وَعِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ وَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُم مِّيثَاقًا غَلِيظًاAnd in Surat al-Shura
He has ordained for you of religion what He enjoined upon Noah and that which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what We enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and Jesus
شَرَعَ لَكُم مِّنَ الدِّينِ مَا وَصَّىٰ بِهِ نُوحًا وَالَّذِي أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ وَمَا وَصَّيْنَا بِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ وَعِيسَىٰAll the messengers are called the Resolute, but the well-known first position is that they are the five. Yes.
