Primary text
It is recommended to seek concealment from people. If a wall, sand dune, tree, or camel is available, one should conceal themselves behind it. If nothing is found, one should move far away so that no one can see them, based on the instruction to gather a sand dune to hide behind or use a shield (*dirqa*).
