So they went to Abu Tuwayla, then returned in disappointment. What a wretched deceased, and what he was from. One of his companions was a man who knew geomancy. Some of those present said to him, "You are a geomancer, so if you knew, tell us whether there is a treasure or not." He struck the sand and said, "The treasure is here, dear and far. So get up and look in Abjarra, we will..." The slaves went to Abu al-Jiran and found a camel in the middle of the mountain, and a strength. They brought it to the traveler. This is the utmost agreement in the science of geomancy. And from this kind also is what is narrated about some nobles in Darfur that a group of scholars were gathered in a place, and among them was one who knew geomancy well, and among them was one who claimed it. They mentioned geomancy, and the one who claimed it said, "I struck the sand for three kings and for the return of the leader, and I informed them of such and such." One of those present asked him to strike for him, so he struck and said, "This is nothing that benefits." The knowledgeable one turned to the struck lines, contemplated them, and then said, "Do not be happy. You and tomorrow will receive sixty slaves from the Sultan." The Emir said, "And if the discussion turns to geomancy, we will mention a summary of it so that the contemplator is not ignorant of its nature, its forms, its names, the fortunate, the five, and the intermediate forms." So, as for its forms, they are sixteen forms, and they have a way and a picture.
