وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ إِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ ۚ كُلًّا هَدَيْنَا ۚ وَنُوحًا هَدَيْنَا مِنْ قَبْلُ ۖ وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ دَاوُودَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ وَأَيُّوبَ وَيُوسُفَ وَمُوسَىٰ وَهَارُونَ ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ

Thus do We reward those devoted to doing good as if seeing God.

On 6:84–87
وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ إِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ ۚ كُلًّا هَدَيْنَا ۚ وَنُوحًا هَدَيْنَا مِن قَبْلُ ۖ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِ دَاوُودَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ وَأَيُّوبَ وَيُوسُفَ وَمُوسَىٰ وَهَارُونَ ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ وَزَكَرِيَّا وَيَحْيَىٰ وَعِيسَىٰ وَإِلْيَاسَ ۖ كُلٌّ مِّنَ الصَّالِحِين َوَإِسْمَاعِيلَ وَالْيَسَعَ وَيُونُسَ وَلُوطًا ۚ وَكُلًّا فَضَّلْنَا عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ
6:84-87 Seventeen Prophets are mentioned here, although not in chronological order. Particular aspects of the lives of these Prophets are referred to here in three verses and three different groups. This is because the concluding phrases of each of the three verses speaking of each of the three different groups of Prophets are different. The Holy Prophet (pbuh) is the final prophet (Khâtim al-Nabiyyîn) and the Divine Law (- sharî‘a) he brought is final. It is not a necessity that in order to receive the Divine Revelation (Wahî وحي), one has to be a prophet. The disciples of Jesus (Hawwâriyyûn حوٌاريون) received the Divine Revelation, though none of them claimed to be a prophet (5:111). Verse 6:87 indicates there will be others who will not be Prophets of Allâh, but who will also be blessed with Divine favours similar to those received by the Prophets. The Kushûf كشوف - “the Visions” of the Mujaddadîn (the Reformers), Auliyâ (the friends of Allâh), Muhaddathîn (those who converse with Allâh) and the Sûfiyâ (people endowed with Divine Knowledge) and many others are proofs of this promise. Their books mention their divine experiences. The Holy Revelation brings about spiritual awakening and living consciousness. The open doors of Allâh’s blessings of communication, and His lifting of the veils ( - kushûf) are still part of this age, as they were in the past. He whose soul seeks the truth should strive to obtain that perfect knowledge. It is not for us to decide if a person is a believer or a non-believer if he claims that he has communicated with Allâh, or has been blessed with a vision. Verse 6:93 warns that, if any person fabricates such information, “His Angels will lay down their hands on such and they will receive a disgraceful punishment”. The verse conveys yet another message namely, none of the Prophets was ever guilty of sin at any time in their lives. The Holy Qur’ân absolves them from the accusations leveled at them in the Bible.
