    https//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shomer

    My guess would be that since there is a definite article, As Samiri is a title, just like the similar Hebrew word Shomer is a title and not a name. Given that Musa had left the tribes and ascended the mountain, and sura 20 mentions those who were around the idol talked of holding the jewelry of the people in trust, I think it points to an individual who was appointed a shomer - a person to watch possessions in the absence of the owner.

      He is the subject of masculine verb.

      Again he is the subject of verb.

      He is asked by singular second person masculine pronoun; and with Vocative particle he is addressed by name.

        Why would this construction eliminate As Samiri as a description other than a name?

            I thought your comment was saying that As Samiri has to be a name. I asked why it could not be a title of an individual. If you are saying that it is definitely not a nation or a group of people, then I agree.

              Salaam,

              As per my understanding alSamiri cannot be a name as it is used with "AL" and as far as I know none of the names in alQuraan is used with al.

              May Allah increase our knowledge and guide us on His path pr

                Salamun alaika,

                It was learned Azad who opined that it refers to a nation. He overlooked the fact that this man is part of Bani Israel who have just escaped from Egypt and they were still in bewilderness when this episode happened.

                We address people one to one either by personal name, or official title held by him or by name which he is popularly known by.

                He was addressed by vocative particle Ya. Thereby, he is just one individual known by name Saamri. His companions also referred him by the same name while giving explanation to Musa alahissalam.

                  so, Samiri isn't a person nor a Nation?
                  so what would it be? a Tittle?

                    Salamun alaika,

                    He is stated and addressed as a singular person, a man.

                    Okay, so. he is a Man? a Person?

                    He was the first to become patient of expressive aphasia having suffered stroke because of fumes.

                    The first reported case of Expressive aphasia-Sa'mri- " no touching"

                    have no idea for this explanation confused

                          Peace Andantino.

                          When I try to searching about As-Samiri in the Quran, only 2087 mentioning that name.I'm not good with history, and maybe he related with the Fir'aun.
                          Alos the site you pointing out is a good evidence.

                            Then why was he with those who secretively moved out from Egypt.

                            Title designation added to name a word added to and usually preceding somebody's name to indicate his or her rank, social status, or profession,
                            name describing position a name that describes somebody's job or position in a company or organization

                            He was a goldsmith by profession. Only a goldsmith could do what he did.
