Descriptions
“ويجتمع من العرب بهذا الموضع جمع عظيم فيبيعون الجمال والغنم والسمن واللبن، ومن هذا الموضع إلى الكوفة ثلاث مراحل ، ثم رحلنا فنزلنا ببركة المرجوم، وهو مشهد على الطريق عليه كوم عظيم من حجارة وكل من مرّ به رجمه، ويذكر أن هذا المرجوم كان رافضيا فسافر مع الركب يريد الحج فوقعت بينه وبين أهل السّنّة من الأتراك مشاجرة فسب بعض الصحابة فقتلوه بالحجارة، وبهذا الموضع بيوت كثيرة للعرب” 1
