Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
The Companions of Ar-Rass were a people who denied their Messenger, so Allah destroyed them. They are mentioned in the Quran in the context of the destruction of nations that denied their Messengers. Scholars differed in identifying them; some said they were the Companions of the Ditch (Ahl al-Ukhdood), or the Companions of Yasin, or the people of a village from the villages of Thamud. It was also said that they were named as such because they buried their prophet in a well (bi'r).
