Descriptions
“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” 3
