History
Muthabin dates back to antiquity, having been mentioned in pre-Islamic Syriac texts.{{cite encyclopedia | article =Al-Nukra | first = E. | last = Honigman | encyclopedia = The Encyclopedia of Islam, New Edition, Volume VIII: Ned–Sam | publisher = BRILL | location = Leiden and New York | year = 1995 | isbn = 90-04-09834-8 | page = 114 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=OO4pAQAAMAAJ&dq=rakka }}
In 1838, Mutabin was noted as a ruin, situated "the Nukra, north of Al-Shaykh Maskin".Robinson and Smith, 1841, vol 3, 2nd appendix, p. [https://archive.org/stream/biblicalresearch03robiuoft#page/151/mode/1up 151]
