It is narrated from HAZRAT IMAM SADIQ (AS) that: ``The Jews knew from their scriptures that the promised prophet would emigrate to somewhere in between two mountains, namely OHUD & EER. so they set out wandering to find that very place they sought. They then reached at the foot of a mountain which was called HADDAD, and they mistook it for OHUD. They therefore dismounted there; and scattered round about. Some of them chose the land of TEAMA, for living, some of them dwelt in KHAIBAR, and some other chose FADAK for residence.''

      Those who stayed in TEAMA, took an Arab for their guide, who said he could settle them between the two mountains that they were looking for; i.e. OHUD AND EER. (Here was called YASRIB, and later in the life time of the prophet the town was given the nickname: MEDINAT-AL-NABI which means the city of the prophet.)

      The Jews lived in Medina until a king named TABAA, surrounded Medina, and when the Jews surrendered, the king gave them respite and amnesty, and said that he would like to stay there and develope that town, making it a capital.

      They said to the king: ``Your plan will ultimately fail, because sooner or later, a prophet will emigrate here that no, human being can overcome him. The king said: If so, I shall then settle there a group of my family and men, in order to help the promised prophet when he comes.'' Thereafter three groups or three main tribes dwelt there: 1) the tribe of AWS. 2) the tribe of KHAZRAJ 3) and the Jewish tribe. When the prophet emigrated from Mecca to Median, AWS and KHAZRAJ joined him, and were called the HELPERS, but the Jews who pretended to be superior to the people without faith- the Gentiles - and who should have been the first to recognize the truth which was Mohammad's mission to bring, they became the first to reject and belie it, and did their best to extinguish the light!
