He -asws indicated by his -asws hand to his -asws left to a place where there was a house among the houses, and it was the place of the house of Ibn Hakeym, and where is Euphrates today, so he -asws said to me: \u2018O Mufazzal! Over there is where the idols of the people of Noah -as were fixed \u2013 Yagows , and Yaowq , and Nasraa \u2019.
Then he -asws went and rode upon his -asws animal.
