The Sultan and the North, their people, gathered around them. They knew each other in the prime of their youth. The Ghurwan and Tabar'an were known for their generosity, and if they gave, they did not withhold. And after him, his master, our lord, sent him. For Satan does not listen to him, for he is on the path of the Ghurwan, and they are his companions. And they marched to the right, as if they had been persuaded to praise the Messenger. And they were afraid. When the Messenger arrived, he ordered the people to be brought. We did not know, O Lord, when the Messenger was sent, or when he was sent. If the fourth part of the year had passed, the Messenger would have sent another, but he did not accept. And the people wept. When the crops were sold, they did not return to him. The Messenger said, "What is your message?" "Your words are upon you, O Lord. When the people of the Ghurwan gathered, he went out to them and hurried. When they arrived, they found him.

He spoke to the assembly about what he had received. The people rejoiced at the opening of the city, and they were victorious. And the other presented to him what he had of the captives.

Our lord went out every day to the mother of the land, and he informed her. And they were as if they had heard. When he turned towards guidance, he said, "O my people, do not be afraid of yourselves." The people gathered from all sides, and they gathered in groups. The king and the Faraqi, Banan and Na'a. The people were like the heat of the sun. Guidance will be established for you, not for the people. Gather, O people, with your Lord. If our Lord had not given us weapons, one would have been enough. They fought the great war and went to that place and rejoiced.
