Descriptions
“ثم رحلنا منه، ونزلنا ببدر حيث نصر الله رسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم، وأنجز وعده الكريم، واستأصل صناديد المشركين. وهي قرية فيها حدائق نخل متصلة، وبها حصن منيع يدخل اليه من بطن واد بين جبال. وببدر عين فوّارة يجرى ماؤها وموضع القليب الذي سحب به أعداء الله المشركون. هو اليوم بستان. وموضع الشهداء رضي الله عنهم خلفه.” 5
“وفي هذا الركب الأسواق الحافلة والمرافق العظيمة وأنواع الأطعمة والفواكه وهم يسيرون باللّيل ويوقدون المشاعل أمام القطار والمحارات، فترى الأرض تتلألأ نورا والليل قد عاد نهارا ساطعا ثم رحلنا من بطن مرّ إلى عسفان، ثم إلى خليص ثم رحلنا أربع مراحل ونزلنا وادي السمك، ثم رحلنا خمسا ونزلنا في بدر” 6
