Upon This The Father Yielded Himself Up; Although, It Is Said, The Flashing Of The Badawi’S Sabre During His Embarkation Made The Turks Rejoice That They Had Won The Day By State-Craft.

The wild men of Al-Hijaz still sing songs in honour of this Sharif. NOTE TO SECOND EDITION.—Early in 1856, when the Sharif Abd al-Muttalib was deposed, Mohammed bin Aun was sent from Constantinople to quiet the insurrection caused by the new slave laws in Al-Hijaz.

In a short space of time he completely succeeded. [FN#13] The 12th of Rabia al-Awwal, Mohammed’s birthday, is here celebrated with great festivities, feasts, prayers, and perusals of the Koran. These “Maulid” (ceremonies of nativity) are by no means limited to a single day in the year. [FN#14] The reader is warned that I did not see the five places above enumerated. The ciceroni and books mention twelve other visitations, several of which are known only by name. 1. Al-Mukhtaba, the “hiding-place” alluded to in the preceding pages. Its locality is the subject of debate. 2. Dar al-Khayzaran, where the Prophet prayed secretly till the conversion of Omar enabled him to dispense with concealment. 3. Maulid Omar, or Omar’s birthplace, mentioned in books as being visited by devotees in the 14th Rabia al-Awwal of every year. 4. Abu Bakr’s house near the Natak al-Nabi. It is supposed to have been destroyed in the twelfth century. 5.
