Jabal An-Nabī Shuʿayb (
Name
The mountain is named after a prophet called Shuʿayb ibn Mahdam ibn Dhī-Mahdam al-Ḥaḍūrī (شُعَيْب ابْن مَهْدَم ابْن ذِي مَهْدَم ٱلْحَضُوْرِي). According to Islamic scholars, he is different from Shuaib of Midian. According to Al-Hamdani, he was sent to the people of Mikhlaf Hadhur, but they killed him, and God sent Bakht Nasr, who destroyed their town.[7][8] Locals believe that his tomb is on the mountain.[9] The mountain is also called Jabal Hadhur because it is located in the region of Mikhlaf Hadhur.[1]

Geology
The mountain is a prominent part of the tertiary volcanic series, which builds up large parts of the Yemeni highlands. Its rocks were sampled, analyzed and studied in detail by the German mineralogist Dieter R. Fuchs. He elaborated in depth the geochemistry and petrogenetic properties and elaborated a thesis on the formation of this geological series.[12]
