"Yathrib" is the old name for Medina (Al-Madinah Al-Monawarah) city in Saudi Arabia, before the migration of Prophet Muhammad. Worth mentioning that it's not preferable to name the city "Yathrib" now. The name itself comes from the family head (Yathrib Ibn Abeel) which was said to be the first family to inhibit this area. They are descendants of Prophet Noah.
Yathrib's residents had asked Muhammad to move to the city in order to bring strong leadership and peace. They sought Muhammad's counsel in brokering a peace between the warring tribed of Aws and Khazraj.
