O Allah, on this day,do not condemn me for slips,make me decrease mistakes and errors,do not make me a target for afflictions and troubles, by Your honour, O the honour of the Muslims.Hazrat Muslim ibn Aqil departed from Makkah for Kufa 60 A.H. As quoted by Mas’oodi, Muslim bin Aqeel (A.S) reached Medina and offered Prayers at the Masjide Nabawi and after bidding farewell to his household, he took along with him two people from Bani Qays as guides to direct the way and left. They took a wrong road and hence lost the way. They became thirsty and could no longer walk further. The two men who had escorted Muslim died due to severe thirst, but they directed him to the way before dying. Muslim advanced further and stopped at a renowned halting-place called Mazeeq.
