lNTELLECI1JAL VALUES 87 TRAVEL Surely, there have been many dispensations before you, then go about in the earth and observe how evil was the end of those who rejected them (3. 138). * * * The Holy Prophet (peace be on him) said: 1. Travel is good for health, 2. While on a journey, do not linger at the stops. 3. If people were to realize the hazards of travelling alone, no one would ever travel alone by night. 4. If three persons set out on a journey they should appoint one of themselves as leader. 5. When you return from a journey bring with you some gift even though it is no more than a smooth stone which you pick up and put in your bag. 6. It is not virtuous to observe the fast when you are travelling. * * *
