On the day of ‘Arafih, the Prophet-pilgrim of Shíráz, His
chronicler relates, devoted His whole time to prayer. On the day of Nahr He
proceeded to Muná, where He sacrificed according to custom nineteen lambs, nine
in His own name, seven in the name of Quddús, and three in the name of the
Ethiopian servant who attended Him. He afterwards, in company with the other
pilgrims, encompassed the Kaaba and performed the rites prescribed for the
pilgrimage.
