Ahmad diyab, that old shaytān

Yahya reports that the Messenger of Allah said…When you buy a camel, take it by the hump and seek refuge from the Shaytān [Devil].

-Sunnah of Al-Muwatta (8th C CE), Book 28:52

Abu Jaib bought one hundred fifty camels for KhairAllah’s Dabouka. He was not in Nahud to take each by the hump but he did seek refuge from the Devil, giving us his writ of protection to show to anyone along the Darb. It worked its magic before entering Egypt when we were stopped and then freed by bribe-hungry border guard Ahmad Diyab, that old Shaytān.
