Al-Salimi said: Whoever sees that he is bidding farewell to someone, then it is good, for it is interpreted in five ways: taking back the divorced wife, reconciliation with a partner over a matter that has a result, profit in trade, the restoration of an office to its holder, and the recovery of the sick person — and that is from "al-wada'" (farewell). And one of them recited verses: (If you see a farewell, then go forth ... and let the distance not trouble you) (And await the return soon ... for if you reverse "al-wada'" they have returned ["'adu"]).
