كيف كانت تستقي حمص ٣_a .. كتاب حمص

Visit Al-Atiq and the orchards located beneath it as far as Orontes to the north. (Al Abbar area). In the events of 624 AH - 27/1226 AD, Abu Al-Fadael Muhammad bin Ali mentions the location of Nazif Al-Hamawi (that the Mujahid king was led to Homs Al-Maa and obeyed him there, the sinner who had not obeyed other kings before him).

In the endowment of Hussein Chalabi, dated: (976) AH = 69/1568 AD, it mentions the Mujahideen waterwheel and the entire orchard located on the outskirts of Homs, guarded near the Seven Mill, with land and plants known as Zur al-Rasim, including the rights thereof and the right to drink from the water drawn by the waterwheel prepared for watering it, known as the creation of the waqf and the right to drink it. Also from the water of the Mujahideen Saqiya.

In the endowment of the Al-Zahrawi family, dated at the opening of the holy month of Muharram, one of the months of the year one thousand and twenty-four of the Prophet’s Hijra = (January 31, 1615 AD) and by the right to drink it from the Mujahideen waterwheel, the phrase is repeated several times during the enumeration of the endowd shares from the orchards mentioned in the endowment. From studying the sites of the beneficial orchards, we concluded that the Mujahideen Sakiyah, which was dug and brought to Homs by the Mujahid King Asad al-Din Shirkuh II, is located between the orchard of Beit Rizq Salloum, the current location of (Al-Kardinia), and the city of Homs and its branches. We can describe its main path as follows: It branches off from the original Sakiyah. At the end of the Al Rizq Salloum orchard from the east, it passes under a stone bridge that was known until the 1960s. This square is from the corner of Al-Bayyada, heading towards the south, and after walking about a hundred meters, it deviates towards the south-east and remains in this direction, passing completely from the middle of Al-Ghouta Street, the place of the half sidewalk in the street, then passing through it. North of (Omar Bin Al-Khattab Secondary School currently and when it ends From this street, it heads towards the south, passing through Ibn al-Rumi Street today, crossing Al-Dablan or Al-Mutanabbi Street now, and passing west of Karam and Bustan (Al-Takli) (see the photo) until it becomes close to Tripoli Road, then it deviates towards the east, and after passing a hundred meters, it deviates towards the north-east, passing from Abdul Hamid Al-Droub Street currently, and before it ends, it deviates towards the east, forming a small arc, then it crosses (Hashim Al-Anasi) Street under a bridge passing north of (Al-Dabuya), the government house currently near the wall of its northern garden, then it continues its path adjacent to Medjool Park and his palace, then it heads towards the south, a distance of forty meters. It deviates towards the east until it reaches the waterwheel north of the Mawlawiyya Hospice (and from there it is led northwards, passing under Al-Quwatli Street) currently, and continues its path northwards, passing under Al-A’sha Street, which was known in the late thirties as (Bonsu Street) or Winery Street due to the presence of a number of shops selling arak and drinks. The other spiritual areas in it then branch out to irrigate the Al-Khabeet orchard, moving towards the northwest until it reaches the orchards located north of the old slaughterhouse (the amusement park). Currently) the eastern edges of the orchards are in line with their windings and from and proceed between them and the Qarabis Plateau in their east, towards the north until they reach the site of the (Al-Asaadia) mill, the ruins of which are still visible to this day and which was built by Asaad Pasha Al-Azm, taking advantage of the difference in height between. = Al-Saqiya stream and the orchard land to its west. It was built in 1158 AH 1745 AD. After the waterwheel crosses a small waterfall, it continues its journey through the orchard refinery from the east until it reaches (Zur al-Waram). The old Mimas Road, where it crosses under a bridge that remained until the sixties of this century, in front of the current dye company, then it continues its journey towards the north and when it reaches the lands of Zur al-Rasim. These are the lands located between Al-Mimas to the west and the Al-Sakia stream to the east, or between Al-Assi and the building of the Dyes Company, heading towards the west until it empties into Al-Assi near the mill (Al-Dunk) to the east of the Al-Sabaa mill, watering the lands on both ends of it.

Al-Sakia is a socio-economic facility, and its contribution increases the more it is cared for. We have two sources that indicate its care: The first is the history of Homs, authored by Muhammad ibn al-Makki ibn al-Khanqah, and it was verified by Mr. (Omar Najib al-Omar) from. Hama and the second are the documents available to us from the era of our study.

Muhammad Al-Makki mentions in his diaries the events of the year 1101 AH: Paper (26). The news came from Mustafa Pasha of Al-Saqiyah, the Saqiyah of Homs, that he died in (Islam) Paul, may his soul rest in peace, without indicating the reason for his travel there, but it can be concluded that his travel was for the sake of Al-Saqia and not Muhammad al-Makki mentions something about the personality of this Mustafa Pasha and the reason for his travel, and during the next fifteen years he does not mention it until the end of (1116) AH. The news of Dhul-Qi’dah from the same year mentions the coming of the Mujahideen Saqiyah from God Almighty, with His benevolence and generosity, two or three days before the aforementioned, which is Friday (1), corresponding to February 1704 AD. Then it mentions its coming in the year (1117) AH (and the month of March had passed three days ago). Ten days, and on that day, the Mujahideen Saqiya came, with the permission of God Almighty, His generosity, and His bounty (2), that is,
