Al-ʿAlyāʾ → Maysūn’s tent → al-ʿAwṣāʾ → qarāḍibah from every tribe
The passage moves from a particular site and encampment to a growing group of people. The verb taʾawwat turns a fixed location into the focal point of an assembly.
The technique is first precise setting, then expansion of the crowd. It makes the remembered episode visual without requiring us to claim a modern geographical identification for every historical name.
