Qahtan bin Abin, Ruler of Sheba

According to Arab tradition Qahtan is the ancestor of all Arabs. The tradition claims that this is the same person as Joktan, son of Eber, five generations after the Flood. Considering that there are about 1300 years between the two, these lines must remain separate.
