The reality behind the name Beersheba, Israel

Post by ZubeirAwal »

I have just discovered that Beersheba is Hebrew for the well of sheba but this is not bilgays of yemen, in Arabic it is :

Bi'rul Shaybah, who's Shaybah? Shaybah was known as Abdulmuttalib the grandfather of the prophet (saw) , when he was young Shaybah had a dream that he was told to dig a hole between the two idols known as Sa'if and Naa'ilah, when he was digging he discovered old treasures belonging to Jurhum (the tribe who lived in the area ancient arabs at the time of Ismail (AS) and Haajira (RA) ), he kept digging then he found the well of Zam Zam. This was the re-discovery of the well of Zam Zam after it disappeared centuries ater the life of Ismail (AS).

Beersheba= bi'rul shaybah= the well of shaybah , but the name was found before the life of Shaybah, which could describe the well knowledeged ahlul kitaab who have known the coming of the prophet and even knew that a man called Umar (RA) would enter Jerusalem. Just thought that was interesting.
