  ‏ "‏ إِنْ كَانَ عِنْدَكَ مَاءٌ بَاتَ فِي شَنٍّ فَٱسْقِنَا وَإِلَّا كَرَعْنَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ عِنْدِي مَاءٌ بَاتَ فِي شَنٍّ ‏.‏ فَٱنْطَلَقَ وَٱنْطَلَقْنَا مَعَهُ إِلَى ٱلْعَرِيشِ فَحَلَبَ لَهُ شَاةً عَلَى مَاءٍ بَاتَ فِي شَنٍّ فَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَٰلِكَ بِصَاحِبِهِ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ ‏.‏
  " ʔin kāna ʕindaka māʔun bāta fī šannin fasqinā waʔillā karaʕnā " . qāla ʕindī māʔun bāta fī šannin . fanṭalaqa wanṭalaqnā maʕahu ʔilā l-ʕarīši faḥalaba lahu šātan ʕalā māʔin bāta fī šannin fašariba ṯumma faʕala miṯla ḏālika biṣāḥibihi llaḏī maʕahu .
  ‘If you have any water that has been kept overnight in a water skin, then give us some to drink, otherwise we will drink by putting out mouths in the basin.’ He said: ‘I have water that has been kept in a water skin. So he went and we went with him, to the shelter, where he milked a sheep for him and (mixed it with) the water that had been kept overnight in a water skin. He drank from it, then he did likewise for his Companion who was with him.”
