they looked for someone from the neighbors to climb that palm tree but they could not find him. so they directed them to a grove of some of the harbiyya people. the messenger kept looking for him until he came upon him. when he brought him and looked at the palm tree he said this cannot be climbed or climbed except by climbing and climbing so how can i climb it without a reason? so they asked him to find that for them. so he went and covered himself with dust for a long time then brought it to them. when he reached the top one of them flew away and the other came down and it was the tabahaj and the kurdnaj the lunch and the dinner.
فطلبوا في الجيران انسانا يصعد تلك النخلة، فلم يقدروا عليه؛ فدلوهم على أكار لبعض أهل الحربية. فما زال الرسول يطلبه، حتى يقع عليه. فلما جاء به ونظر الى النخلة، قال هذه لا تصعد ولا يرتقى عليها إلا بالتبليا والبربند ٣ ، فكيف أرومها أنا بلا سبب ؟ فسألوه أن يلتمس لهم ذلك، فذهب فغبر مليا، ثم أتاهم به. فلما صار في أعلاها طار أحدهما وأنزل الآخر فكان هو الطباهج والكردناج ٤ ، وهو الغداء وهو العشاء.
