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. - [Previous: 13.47.11](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-mt.13.47.11) - [Next: 13.47.13](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-mt.13.47.13) - [Up: 13.47](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-mt.13.47) ## Translations (1) - [The Travels of Ibn Batūta](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-lee.17.1.6) — Samuel Lee 1829, English ## Linked texts (1) - [تحفة النظار في غرائب الأمصار وعجائب الأسفار](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta.13.47.12) — Ibn Baṭṭūṭa, Arabic --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-mt.13.47.12](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-mt.13.47.12) · Pramāṇa
