سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلْ يَاسِينَ
Sal a mun AAal a il y a seen a
"Peace be upon Elijah and his followers!"50
  - Mohammad Asad

The form Il-Yasin in which this name appears in the above verse is either a variant of Ilyas (Elijah) or, more probably, a plural - "the Elijahs" - meaning "Elijah and his followers" (Tabar', Zamakhshari, et al.). According to Tabari, 'Abd Allah ibn Mas'ud used to read this verse as "Peace be upon Idrasin", which, apart from giving us a variant or a plural of Idris ("Idris and his followers"), lends support to the view that Idris and Ilyas are but two designations of one and the same person, the Biblical Elijah. (See also note [41] on 19:56 .)

Salutation to Ilyas.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
'Peace be upon Elias.'
  - Mustafa Khattab
Peace be unto Elias!
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
"Peace and salutation to such as Elias!"
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
