90. 1. That is, he reached such a place which was the last settlement on the eastern side, it has been called "Matla' ash-Shams". There he saw such a people who, instead of living in houses, were settled in fields and deserts, and were also free from clothing. This means that there was no curtain or cover between them and the sun. The sun would rise upon their naked bodies.
