Travel by sea was dependent on the wind, which blew if it felt like it and didn’t if it didn’t. As al-Ṣāḥib ibn al-ʿAbbād has said,63 ’Tis but a wind you cannot control, For you’re not Sulaymān, son of Dāʾūd. It follows that the Fāriyāq departed on a wind-propelled ship of that ilk.

They live in our country for years and still can’t pronounce our language properly.

The people came in great numbers to hear him, and, when the church was full to overflowing, 2.3.1 2.3.2 2.3.3 [3.16.29.209] Project MUSE (2024-04-26 16:22 GMT) 64 64 ‫ة‬ ��‫ة‬ ��‫ر‬‫�د‬‫ن‬ �‫ك‬ � �
