(A) During the perilous journey, it was very difficult for anyone to supply food to Hazrat Muhammad
(PBUH). The situation was so delicate that the slightest mistake could have endangered the life of Rasool
(PBUH). This grand task was nicely undertaken by Hazrat Asma, the daughter of Hazrat Abu Bakr Sadiqque
(RA). Every night, with the pack of food, she would quietly venture towards the rugged mountains in which
lay the cave of Thawr. She took care of the minute details in accomplishing the task. How difficult it must
have been for her to traverse the rocky path at night, with the constant fear of being detected!

sum up the discussion.

The Sultan sent agents to all parts of the East to buy rare manuscripts, and bring them back to Cordova. His men were
constantly searching the booksellers' shops at Cairo, Damascus and Baghdad for rare volumes for his library. When
the book was not to be bought at any price, he would have it copied; and sometimes even hear of a book which was
only in the author's brain, and send him a handsome present, and beg him to send the first copy to Cordova. By such
means he gathered no fewer than four hundred thousand books and this at a time when printing was unknown, and
every copy had to be painfully copied, in the fine clear hand of the professional copyist.
