Sabians
The Sabians (; (アラビア語:صابئة)) of Middle Eastern tradition were a religious group mentioned three times in the Quran as a people of the Book, "the Jews, the Sabians, and the Christians".〔Bernard Lewis, ''The Jews of Islam'', 1987, page 13.〕 In the ''hadith'', they were described merely as converts to Islam,〔E.g. Sahih Bukhari Book No. 7, Hadith No. 340; Book No. 59, Hadith No. 628; Book No. 89, Hadith No. 299 etc.〕 but interest in the identity and history of the group increased over time. Discussions and investigations of the Sabians began to appear in later Islamic literature.

The planet cult of ancient Harran, Vanished Civilizations,'' ed. by E. Bacon, London 1963〕 argued that the term Sābi'ūn derives from the Syriac root ''s-b-' '', referring to conversion through submersion.〔''The city of the Moon god: religious traditions of Harran'', p112 Tamara M. Green, 1992. "Segal was inclined to believe that the root of the word Sabian was Syriac. Rejecting the notion that it means baptizer ... Even if the etymology proposed by Segal is correct, nevertheless the question of how Muhammad learned about these ..."〕
