Dhu al-Kifl: There is disagreement as to whether he was a prophet or a righteous man. What is apparent from the Quranic context in Surat al-Anbiya' is that he was a prophet, as he is mentioned alongside other prophets. However, others said that he was a just king or a righteous man who took responsibility for the affairs of his people. Ibn Jarir refrained from giving a definitive opinion on this matter. As for al-Yasa', he was a sent prophet, and there is no disagreement regarding his prophethood. He was mentioned alongside the prophets in Surat al-An'am.
