1st:
They were a gathering
of many dispersed people by
the man al Muj'im - who gathered all the sons if Isma'eel together in
Makkah after they had dispersed.
2nd:Qarsh
- A
massive beast in the ocean.
A whale or octopus
that can destroy ships. And it
cannot be overpowered except by fire (and it cannot
be destroyed by fire because it is in the water -
a saying of the Arabs).
QuraYsh
is a tasgheer/smallened
version of
this big powerful beast.
I.e.
They are big and powerful, but they are smaller than it. (i.e.Hasan
is a name to mean beautiful. A small person called Hasan isHusaYn,
or Umar and UmaYr
(little Umar, 'Abd and UbaYd
(little slave), Qarsh
and QuraYsh
etc.
This tasgheer/making small can also magnify them.
i.e.
We might jokingly call a tall person - short, or a thin person -
'fatty' (fat). etc.
So QuraYsh
in tasgheer
[smallness]
form can actually imply they are powerful andbig.
Even though tasgheer/smallness is used in language.
Ibn
Abbas was
askesd why are they called Quraysh? He replied; Because
the beast in the
ocean eats - but it is not eaten. It overpowers, but it cannot be
overpowered. And this is the case with Quraysh.

the Quraysh is the one who lives in the ocean and becauseof
it Quraysh is called Quraysh.
