had come thither saving that they

when they had received an affirmative
reply. they made as though they would
search thee out in the city and then
by another route they passed out OF
the city and fastened away.
And why thinkest thou that they
were emissaries Of the Syrians -
asked the prophet, calmly.

that they were making for the outer
