Note 171 — ILLITERATE WHO SET UP FOR A SCHOOLMASTER.
Richard Francis Burton translation
Arab. “Mujawirin” = the lower servants, sweepers etc. See Pilgrimage ii. 161 where it is also applied to certain “settlers” at Al-Medinah. Burckhardt (No. 480) notices another meaning “foreigners who attend mosque-lectures” and quotes the saying, “A. pilgrimaged:” quoth B. “yes! and for his villainies resideth (Mujáwir) at Meccah.”
