Al-Nabi 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 claim that it is the burial site of Seth, the son of Adam. A mosque on the burial site contains the grave of Seth (though rival traditions place Seth's tomb in the Palestinian village of Bashsheet and in the Iraqi city of Mosul). The village is also the home town of Abbas al-Musawi, the second leader and co-founder of Hezbollah, as well as other senior Hezbollah leaders such as Fuad Shukr. The village of is predominantly inhabited by people with the surnames Helbawi, Al-Moussawi, Hazimeh and Chokr.
