Al-Nabi Shayth (Arabic: ٱلنَّبِي شَيْت, romanized: An-Nabī Shayth, lit. Prophet Seth) is a village in eastern Lebanon, located in the Beqaa Valley and Baalbek District. The village's name comes from the considered burial-site of Seth the son of Adam. A mosque was built on the burial site and it contains the grave of Seth inside the mosque (a rival tradition placed Seth's tomb in the Palestinian village of Bashsheet, and likewise in the Iraqi city of Mosul). The village is also the hometown of former leader and co-founder of Hezbollah, Abbas al-Musawi, as well as the hometown of other senior Hezbollah leaders such as the late Fuad Shukr. The village of Al-Nabi Sheeth is predominantly inhabited by people with the surnames Helbawi, Al-Moussawi, Hazimeh and Chokr.
