The intended meaning of the brotherhood between Shu'ayb and Madyan is kinship

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Allah, Mighty and Majestic, mentioned in the Noble Qur'an His saying:
The people of the grove denied the messengersكَذَّبَ أَصْحَابُ لْأَيْكَةِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
[Al-Shu'ara: 176],And He said in another verse:
And to [the people of] Madyan [We sent] their brother Shu'ayb.وَإِلَى مَدْيَنَ أَخَاهُمْ شُعَيْباً
[Al-'Ankabut: 36] So are the people of Madyan the people of the grove?
The people of the grove are not from the people of Shu'ayb,And for this reason he said regarding his people: (their brother) And He said regarding these people:
The people of the grove denied the messengersكَذَّبَ أَصْحَابُ لْأَيْكَةِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
[Al-Shu'ara: 176] But they are a people whom Allah commanded Shu'ayb to go to, so he went to them by the command of Allah,And thus we know the misguidance of whoever said: If one says:
And to [the people of] Madyan [We sent] their brother Shu'ayb.وَإِلَى مَدْيَنَ أَخَاهُمْ شُعَيْباً
[Al-'Ankabut: 36] that these are his brothers in humanity, and that the inclusive human brotherhood applies to every human being, then the disbeliever, according to the view of these people, would be our brother. This is undoubtedly a great error. Rather, it is brotherhood by kinship; because they are his people, they are his brothers,And we cannot say: The children of Adam are brothers in humanity forever; because there is no guardianship or brotherhood between a believer and a disbeliever.
