Shu'ayb

Shu'ayb ibn Nuwayl ibn Ru'uwayl ibn Mar ibn Anqa' ibn Madyan ibn Ibrahim, the prophet of Madyan, to whom Musa gave his daughter in marriage, as al-Mas'udi reports. He called his people, and they denied him. He promised them the punishment of the Day of the Shade in the reign of Kalman, and withdrew with those who believed in him to al-Aykah, a thicket near Madyan. When the heat became intense on the deniers, they sought him and drove him from his place, and God made the shading cloud into fire over them ².

al-Mas'udi distinguishes him from Shu'ayb ibn Mihdam, the prophet of Hadhura, and places hundreds of years between them. He says that there were a thousand prophets between Musa and the Messiah ³.
