12. 1. There is much disagreement among the commentators regarding the identification of the People of the Well (Ashab ar-Rass). Imam Ibn Jarir Tabari has given preference to the opinion in which they are considered the People of the Ditch (Ashab al-Ukhdud), who are mentioned in Surah Al-Buruj. (For details, see Ibn Kathir and Fath al-Qadir, (And 'Ad and Thamud and the companions of ar-Rass and many generations between them) 25. Al-Furqan:38)
