And in it was the spring and the pine tree...

And in it was the spring and the pine tree, and in every town they had planted a seed from that pine tree, and made the river to flow from which was the main pine tree. These seeds grew and became big trees, and they prohibited the water of the spring and the river. So they would neither drink from it, nor water their cattle from it.

And the one who did that (drank from it) they killed him and they were saying, \u2018It is the life of our god, so it is not befitting for anyone that he should reduce its life\u2019. And they and their cattle used to drink from the river Al-Rass, upon which were their towns\u2019.
