Who are the Sabians mentioned in the Qur’an?

Who are the Sabians mentioned in the Qur’an?

2:62 Indeed, those who believed, and those who became Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians (wal-sabiina) - who believed in Allah and the Last Day and did righteous deeds, so for them is their reward with their Lord; and they will have no fear, nor will they grieve.

(“Sabians” is derived from the root “Sad-Ba-Hamza” and it means “someone who is outside of the fold. In religious terms it points to either people that cannot be labeled as this or that religion because they do not fit in the classical example of it. It also can point to people who left their original religion and adopted another. In this context the name applies to all unaffiliated people to any religion”)(Allah knows best)

5:69 Indeed, those who believed and those who are Jews and the Sabians and the Christians, whoever believed in Allah and the Last Day and did good deeds, then no fear on them, nor will they grieve.

22:17 Indeed, those who have believed and those who were Jews and the Sabeans and the Christians and the Magians and those who associated with Allah - Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed Allah is, over all things, Witness.
