day of Nahr (slaughtering of the animals of sacrifice)” We replied, “Yes.” He further asked, “Which
month is this?” We again kept quiet, thinking that he might give it another name. Then he said, “Isn’t it

this city of yours. It is incumbent upon those who are present to inform those who are absent because
those who are absent might comprehend (what I have said) better than the present audience.”
