第10章

Said she,'His name is As'ad and my name is Marjanah,and this slave came to my town in company of Bahram,a Magian,who refused to sell him to me; so I took him by force,but his master fell upon him by night and bore him away by stealth and he is of such and such a favour.' When Amjad heard that,he knew it was indeed his brother As'ad whom she sought and said to her,'O Queen of the age,Alhamdolillah,praised be Allah,who hath brought us relief!
