This indicates that Ibn al-Sutumi was aware of the destination he intended when he began his journey. This conclusion is reinforced by the fact that he sent his family by sea directly to Gabès, while he chose the land route to fulfill his travel purpose and his desire to call people to Islam. He stayed in Bismu for nine months and then set out for Gualu. They passed by a place called Hazza. They traveled to Gualu. They traveled to Ujlah and stayed with Samdi. Abd Allah ibn Sarh, the Companion (may God be pleased with him), and he took leaven from there and traveled to Barqah al-Maimaa and stayed with a tribe called 'Amalat al-Lawati and they carried him to Barqah al-Baidhaa. He stayed with Sheikh Al-Atrosh and traveled with the teacher in the land of Sirte to Ar:. He arrived at Al-Harsha. They received him with Al-Hasan ibn Al-Muntassir and they carried him and traveled with him to Misrata. From Misrata to Tripoli and they are distinguished among their people from the service of the state by Muhsin (may God be pleased with him). And his descendants continue to this day. And God helped him, and he was a Pasha at that time with great prestige, and he was Ashqar Pasha, so they were keen to carry him and communicate with him, so they housed him in their camp in Al-Manshiyyah and he stayed. And the brothers whom he left at sea reached it in seven days, then he headed for Gabès. Upon his arrival in Tripoli, he stayed there for two months, and correspondence did not cease between him and the brothers, and the distance to my house was ten days. Then he traveled to Gabès, and after his arrival there, he stayed for a short while and left the brothers there, and he returned to Tripoli with Ibn al-Hajj al-Maghribi, Abd al-Qadir al-Makawi, and Sabs al-Khayl, the three of them only. The distance from Tripoli to Gabès is ten days. This return was with haste from him (may God have mercy on him). The brothers did not expect that, and the intention of the infidels, may God curse them, was to betray him there. It is part of a plan. Thus, Ibn al-Sadr began his journey from Dikka Ahmad al-Sharif. His journey in Gabès. After he had intended to go to Algeria to see his son, he stopped in Gabès, then suddenly returned to Tripoli. The reason for this is his distress from some French measures, which is clarified by the saying of Ahmad al-Sharif. And the intention of the infidels was to betray him there in Gabès. And when the French felt the danger of his call after Ahmad al-Sharif had delivered it to them. His lines. S.B. H.
