However, she fears a certain something: the fire is before her. In one of the tales, Men were living in the towns, however they could escape from them amid the consuming of their turbans before them, after they saw something that recognizes them from whatever remains of the ladies, which is like the arrangements of the camel, so the best way to escape them is poise and astonishment with flame in light of the fact that A shortcoming.

The Moroccan humanist, Paul Baskon, expounded on it in his book "Legends and Beliefs from Morocco," where he tells how an European teacher of rationality at a Moroccan college was going to an exploration on "Aisha Qandisha" and ended up compelled to consume all What he expounded on it, ceasing his examination and after that leaving Morocco, after he was subjected to a few strange and progressive episodes.
