The Holy Quran 34:18 — Surah Saba

Arabic text

وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْقُرَى ٱلَّتِى بَـٰرَكْنَا فِيهَا قُرًى ظَـٰهِرَةً وَقَدَّرْنَا فِيهَا ٱلسَّيْرَ ۖ سِيرُوا۟ فِيهَا لَيَالِىَ وَأَيَّامًا ءَامِنِينَ

Translation

Between them and the towns that We blessed (the towns of Shaam to which they travelled for trade), We made several conspicuous (visible on the high way) villages (where they could easily stop over and fulfil their needs) and made their journey in easy stages (so that they could reach a village whenever they needed to eat or rest.) (It was said to them) "Travel peacefully (in security) by them (by these stages) by night and by day (without any fear)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The blessed towns: the blessed towns are those of the land of Sham (Syria). That is, the roads from their land to Sham were safe. Along the road a chain of villages ran in such measure and proportion that at every stage the traveller had the opportunity to eat, drink water and rest.
