for fear of failure love of mutual support and the need for cooperation some tribes in the desert joined together settling together and moving together. those who left their companions were fewer and those who supported their cousins were more. those who rejoiced in their blessings and wished for them to remain and increase were more than those who sought their calamities and sought their cessation and disappearance. in times of this there must be some competition and failure but that is a little of a lot.
ولخوف التخاذل ولحب التناصر، والحاجة إلى التعاون انضم بعض القبائل في البوادي إلى بعض، ينزلون معا ويظعنون معا. ومن فارق أصحابه أقل، ومن نصر ابن عمه أكثر. ومن اغتبط بنعمته وتمنى بقاءها والزيادة فيها أكثر ممن بغاها الغوائل، وطلب انقطاعها وزوالها. ولا بد في أضعاف ذلك من بعض التنافس والتخاذل، إلا أن ذلك قليل من كثير.
