This Arabic name is of interest to the question. It seems that Arabs linked this place to a prophet (Nebi), probably considering it to be his burial place, but the name of the prophet, Yaqin, is not the normal Arabic, or Islamic, name of Cain, i.e Qabil, nor is it a simple transliteration of the Hebrew Qayin. So, in Arabic tradition, who was this Yaqin?
