We met them, and the wind blew against them, so they turned back. We killed them throughout our evening and our night until we reached the morning. He said: Ibrahim—meaning Ibn al-Ashtar—said: "I killed a man last night, and I found a pleasant scent coming from him. I do not think it was anyone but Ibn Marjanah.
