تحفة النظار في غرايب الامصار وعجايب الاسفار 13.47.12

13.47.12

Above it was a bird that kept flapping its wings for most of the night; I think it was afraid, so the two of us were together in our fear. I remained in that state for seven days from the day I was captured, which was a Saturday. On the seventh of them I reached an inhabited village of the infidels, with a pool of water and green plants growing in it. I asked them for food, but they refused to give me any. Then I found radish leaves around a well there and ate them. I went into the village and found a band of infidels who had a lookout posted; their lookout called me, but I did not answer him and sat down on the ground. One of them came with a drawn sword and raised it to strike me with it, but I paid him no attention because of the extreme exhaustion I was in. He searched me and found nothing on me, so he took the shirt whose sleeves I had given to the old man who had been put in charge of me.
