Who
are the people of Yathrib mentioned in the Qur’an?
33:13
And when a party of them said, "O People of Yathrib,
there is no stability for you, so return." And a party of them
asked permission of the Prophet, saying, "Indeed, our houses are
exposed," and they were not exposed. They did not wish except to
flee.
(According
to the root dictionary of the Qur’an (see the link below),
“Yathrib” is the earlier name for Medina. So, the people of
Yathrib is the people of the city of Medina)(Allah knows best)
9:101
And among those around you of the bedouins are hypocrites and (also)
from the people of the Madinah (l-madinati).
They persist in hypocrisy. You do not know them, We know them. We
will punish them twice, then they will be returned to a great
punishment.
(“Madinah”
actually means “city”, so it doesn’t always refer to the city
in Saudi Arabia, but, for example, in Verse 12:30, “medina”
refers to a city in Egypt)(Allah knows best)
12:30
And the women in the city (l-madinati) said, "The
wife of Aziz is seeking to seduce her slave boy; indeed, he has
impassioned her with love. Indeed, we surely see her in clear error."
