I visited Najaf several years ago, and this picture is of a well-known market in the old city there called Al-Howeish Market. Al-Howeish is one of the four areas (Al-Howeish, Al-Baraq, Al-Amara, and Al-Mishrak) surrounding the tomb of Ali bin Abi Talib there. The personality whose tomb is visited by millions of Shiite Twelvers from everywhere.
The point is, these books (displayed on the street all day long) are worthless, I remember once buying a bunch of these books for 1,000 Iraqi dinars, which is about $0.7. I gave this price only as a tip to the seller, not as compensation!
The thief would have to go through great trouble to steal a large collection of these books, possibly earning a few dollars for them, but most likely getting nothing at all! After all, who would buy them from the thief, especially if people don't even approach these books when they're openly displayed in the Al-Hawish market? π https://gw.ipfs-lens.dev/ipfs/bafkreia5vnsu4l5ppfpmac73qtyoedr5pasysgku564vkwk5pq5fduhcxy 0 reply
