Pilgrims' baggage returns finally

The feeling of satisfaction was writ large upon the withered faces of all those who were bemoaning their lost luggage after the return journey from Jeddah.  They found themselves quite hopeless, but the sudden good news about the arrival of the baggage had brightened their withered faces. They were so happy after procuring their costly luggage. It was like a little miracle for all of them.  They were so overjoyed to see their boxes that they began to say kind words with all their optimism.
