According to Surah Yasin, verse 13, who are the people of the village, what is the village itself, who are the three messengers, what is the city mentioned later, and who is the man who came running?
The exegetes have differed in identifying the village and its messengers. It was said that the village was Antioch, and it was said that the messengers were Sadiq, Musaddiq, and Salloum, or Shamoun and Yuhanna, or Sam’an and Yahya. And that the man who came from the farthest part of the city was Habib al-Najjar, who was afflicted with leprosy and worshipped Allah in a cave. When he heard of the messengers, he believed and had faith in them.
One should suffice with what is mentioned in the Qur’an and , and not delve into details that Allah and His Messenger have not clarified, especially since many of these details rely on Isra’iliyyat (Judeo-Christian traditions) whose authenticity cannot be definitively established.
