The quintet of winter ... What is it, when do you start and what do you form?
Sunday, 10 March, coincided with the beginning of the fourth and final part of the Saudi women, Saad Al- Khabaiah, and the story of the Saudi women began, according to the popular tradition, when a young man named "Saad" decided to travel in one of the warm days of February, ignoring his father's advice that he should carry with him what warms Himself from the cold, and enough food.
The story of Saad the slaughtered
After Saad crossed more than half the way, he was surprised by the changing weather to become very cold and heavy snow and rain, and he had no warmth for himself, so he slaughtered the camel he owns so that he could keep his guts cold. Hence the story of naming the first part of Saudi women, which is " Saad Al- Zabh ", which runs from 1-13 February .
The story of Saad Balaa
The story of Saad Bala 'or "Saad Iblaa", which is the second part of Saudi women, runs from 13-25 February, when Saad felt hungry, and he found before him only to eat from the meat of his camel he had slaughtered. And its days are distinguished by the fact that, as it rains, the earth swallows rain quickly.
The story of Saad Al-Saud
After the storm ended, the sun rose and the weather became warm, Saad felt joy and celebrated his escape from the storm and the cold weather, hence the name of the third part of the Saudis came to be called "Saad Al-Saud" and runs from February 26 to March 10.
What are borrowed days and what is their story in popular heritage?
The story of Saad Al-Khabayat
