And we revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, the Descendants, Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and to David We gave the book [of Zabur].
The Quran describes Job as a righteous servant of God, who was afflicted by suffering for a lengthy period of time.
The Quran states that it was then that God removed his pain and suffering and He returned Job's family to him, blessed him with many generations of children and granted him great wealth.
God, however, sent a revelation to Job, which told him to not beat his wife but to hit her once, using a bundle of a hundred blades of grass.
Job was a very rich person with much land, and many animals and children — all of which were lost and soon he was struck with skin disease as a test from God.
A prevalent belief among early commentators was that Job descended from the line of Esau, the son of Ishaq.
Although various commentators gave different genealogies relating to Job, all of them traced his ancestry to Abraham through Isaac's son Esau.
"[12]Muslim historical literature fleshes out Job's story and describes him as being a late descendant of the patriarch Noah.
Similar to the Hebrew Bible's narrative, Ibn Kathir mentions that Satan heard the angels of God speak of Job as being the most faithful man of his generation.
