The Meaning of the Word al-Mahmal in Language

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Shaykh, in the dictionary, al-mahmal is like a seat, consisting of two compartments on a camel in which the two saddles are carried.

The Shaykh:
Here.

The questioner:
Because. It was shaped by itself.

The Shaykh:
He shouts, he shouts, he shouts. Al-mahmal is like a seat, and al-mahmal is like a pulpit, because it is a device in which things are carried on a base. That is, it is a ma'ful (a noun of instrument) like devices such as a minbar (pulpit) on which one stands or hides, a migfar (helmet) with which the head is covered, a minjal (sickle) with which grass is cut, and al-mahmal because things are worked in it. And al-mahmal is like a seat because one sits in it, yes, and we work in it, yes. The base of this and that, yes.
