Majz'a Al-Salmakh A prophecy... has it come true?

The narrator: "O, son of the mountain, have you heard the news?" The narrator: "What news, O father?" The narrator: "The news of the drought, O father." The narrator: "And what about the drought, O father?" The narrator: "It is said that the drought has come." The narrator: "And who said that?" The narrator: "The storyteller said it." The narrator: "What did the storyteller say? What is the meaning of this?" The narrator: "He said that the drought will come and will be severe."

Majz'a Al-Salmakh Ibn Sallalah said that the drought was severe and that the people of the region were suffering from it. He said that the drought had lasted for a long time and that the people had lost hope. He said that the people had tried everything they could to end the drought, but nothing worked. He said that the people had prayed to God to end the drought, but God had not answered their prayers. He said that the people had sacrificed animals to God, but God had not accepted their sacrifices. He said that the people had given up hope and had resigned themselves to their fate.

And to this day, Ibn Sallalah said, the people of the region are suffering from the drought. He said that the people are still praying to God to end the drought, but God has not answered their prayers. He said that the people are still sacrificing animals to God, but God has not accepted their sacrifices. He said that the people have given up hope and have resigned themselves to their fate.

(47) And the poet said: "O, my people, the drought has come, and the land is dry. O, my people, the drought has come, and the wells are dry. O, my people, the drought has come, and the rivers are dry. O, my people, the drought has come, and the trees are dry. O, my people, the drought has come, and the animals are dying. O, my people, the drought has come, and the people are dying."
