 A man passed by Juhaa while he was digging in the (desert of) Chahraa’a , so he asked him:

Why are you digging here?

He answered: I buried daraahem here, and I am not guided to their place.

So, the questioner asked: Didn’t you make for them a sign? He answered: Yes.

The questioner asked: (So) what is it?

He said: A cloud in the sky that was shading them, and I don’t know the location of the sign now.
