and asked Halima if the donkey was the same one she had come with!
Before they reached the land of Bani Sa'd, the vegetation had already become
very scant, but now that they had reached it there was no vegetation at all, the
land was barren with the signs of drought everywhere. However, Halima's sheep
would wander off yet always return full! It was so noticeable that the others in her
party told their shepherds to take their sheep and follow Halima's, however, hers
always returned full and yielded milk but theirs did not.
Halima had several other children, amongst whom was their daughter Al Shaima.
Al Shaima loved here new brother dearly and never waited to be asked to look
after him. It was a very happy time and Halima's foster child grew rapidly in
strength and soon outgrew other children of similar age.
