Hud (; (アラビア語:هود)) is the name of a prophet of ancient Arabia, who is mentioned in the Qur'an. The eleventh chapter of the Qur'an, ''Hud'', is named after him, though the narrative of Hud comprises only a small portion of the chapter. ==Historical context== Hud has sometimes been identified with Eber,〔''A-Z of Prophets in Islam and Judaism'', Brannon M. Wheeler, ''Hud''〕 an ancestor of the Israelites who is mentioned in the Old Testament. He is said to have been a subject of a kingdom named after its founder, ʿĀd, a fourth generation descendant of Noah (his father being Uz, the son of Aram, who was the son of Shem and a son of Noah.〔Abdullah Yusuf Ali,''The Holy Qur'an: Text, Translation and Commentary'', Note 1040: "The 'Ad people, with their prophet Hud, are mentioned in many places. See especially 26:123-140, and 46:21-26. Their story belongs to Arabian tradition. Their eponymous ancestor 'Ad was fourth in generation from Noah, having been a son of 'Aus, the son of Aram, the son of Sam, the son of Noah. They occupied a large tract of country in Southern Arabia, extending from Umman at the mouth of the Persian Gulf to Hadhramaut and Yemen at the southern end of the Red Sea. The people were tall in stature and were great builders. Probably the long, winding tracts of sands (ahqaf) in their dominions (46:21) were irrigated with canals. They forsook the true God, and oppressed their people. A three years famine visited them, but yet they took no warning. At length a terrible blast of wind destroyed them and their land, but a remnant, known as the second 'Ad or the Thamud (see below) were saved, and afterwards suffered a similar fate for their sins. The tomb of the Prophet Hud (qabr Nabi Hud) is still traditionally shown in Hadhramaut, latitude 16 N, and longitude 49 E', about 90 miles north of Mukalla. There are ruins and inscriptions in the neighborhood."〕 The other tribes claimed to be present at this time in Arabia, were the Thamud, Jurhum, Tasam, Jadis, Amim, Midian, Amalek Imlaq, Jasim, Qahtan, Banu Yaqtan and others.〔''Stories of the Prophets'', Ibn Kathir, ''Story of Hud''〕 While the Quran makes no reference to the location of ʿĀd, it is believed to have been in the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula, possibly in eastern Yemen and/or western Oman. In the 1980s, a settlement was discovered and thought to be Ubar, mentioned in the Qur'an as Iram, the capital of ʿĀd. In Saudi, the location is now known as Rub' al-Khali (The quarter of Emptiness) which takes a quarter of the total of Saudi Arabia, at the South East direction (bordering with Oman in from the East and Yaman from the South 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hud (prophet)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
