Which prophet is associated with the miracle of curing leprosy, known as 'Abri al-Kamah'?

Explanation

Prophet Isa (A.S.), known as Jesus in Christianity, was granted several miraculous abilities by Allah, including healing those born blind and curing lepers (al-abras). The term 'Abri al-Kamah' refers specifically to the curing of leprosy, which was one of the signs of his prophethood mentioned in the Quran. These miracles demonstrated Allah's power and served as proof of Isa's (A.S.) divine appointment as a messenger to Bani Israel.

Good to know

The Quran mentions in Surah Al-Imran (3:49) and Surah Al-Ma'idah (5:110) that Prophet Isa (A.S.) was granted the ability to heal the blind and the leper by Allah's permission. Leprosy was considered an incurable disease at that time, making this miracle particularly significant. Prophet Isa (A.S.) is also known for other miracles including raising the dead, speaking as an infant, and creating a bird from clay, all performed by the will of Allah.
