There is a quotation ascribed to Ibn Battuta that goes something like - one should never travel faster than a camel lest one's soul gets left behind ... however there is hardly any reliable mention of this in any translations of Battuta as far as I can see (Google "Ibn Battuta faster than camel soul site:archive.org"). Is this a misattribution? Shyamal ( talk) 11:32, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
The soul invariably travels at the speed of a camel.[1] 136.54.106.120 ( talk) 15:56, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
