Story 16: NurAl-Din Ali and the Damsel Anis Al-Jalis
Once there was a King of Bassorah named Mohammed son of Sulayman al-Zayni.
He had two Wazirs.
One was named Al-mu'in son of Sawi and the other Al-Fazl son of Khakan.
Al-Fazl was very generous, respectable and everyone came to him for advice.
On the other hand, Al-mu'in son of Sawi was the opposite.
He was hated, not trusted by the people.
One day the King told Al-Fazl that he wanted a beautiful slave girl.
Al-Fazl found an exquisite and perfect girl for sale.
He gave the Persian slave-broker 10 thousand dinars.
The broker said, "You shouldn't bring the girl to the King today. She's tired and has been travelling. If she can rest and recover she will be more beautilul."
The Wazir Al-Fazi agreed and took the girl to his private palace.
She lived there in a private room, eating and drinking, having everything given to her.
Her name was Anis al-Jalis.
WazirAl-Fazl had a very handsome son.
His name was Nur Al-Din Ali.
He was charming and had a reputation of being with everyyoung girl he desired.
No one was safe from his charisma.
She heard about him and wanted to see him.
She was curious.
One day at the Hammam, she saw him and he saw her.
He was instantly enamored with her.
He said, "You must be the girl my father bought for me."
She unknowingly assumed it to be true and said, "Yes."
They embraced and kissed and he slept with her.
He realized what he had done and he avoided his parents for two months only coming home to eat and sleep.
He would leave early in the morning and return late at night.
His Father was upset, but did not want to lose his son.
He forgave him gave him the girl to be his own.
His father said, he must not have any other wives otherwise to sell her.
AI-DinAli and Al-Jalis lived together one year before AI-Din Ali's father died.
He devoted himself to a lavish life, entertaining guests and giving away expensive possessions.
He ran out of money and went to the door of each of his friends.
He thought those people were his friends.
No one would answer the door.
They avoided him.
He was in despair and said to his slave-girl, "What should we do now?"
She said that he should take her to the slave-bazaar and sell her.
She said if it was God's will they would be together again one day.
Her sale price was four thousand five hundred dinars.
The Wazir Al-mu'in son of Sawi was at the bazaar that day.
He saw Al-Din Ali and was sure that he was selling the slave-girl Anis Al-Jalis because he was penniless.
Al-Mu'in offered the sales price.
Al-DinAli did not want to sell her to him.
The broker sat the slave-market liked AI-Din Ali and told him to grab Anis Al-Jalis and act like he did not intend to sell her, to act like he wanted only to unbind her status as a slave.
He then beat up Al-Mu'in, pulling him off his horse and punching him until his clothes and beard were stained with blood.
No one dared to stop the fight between a Wazir and Wazir's son.
AI-Mu'intold the Sultan what had occurred.
The Sultan sent out 40 soldiers to bring Al-DinAli to him.
One of the Sultan's servants was Alamal-Din Sanjar.
He had been a servant to Al-Fazl long before.
When he heard the King's orders, he went in secret to Nur al-Din's home to warn him to run away from the city.
Nural-Din fled the city with his damsel.
They found a ship that took them safely to Baghdad.
They were so tired from their journey.
They came to a place called the Garden of Gladness, which belonged to the Caliph Hairun al-Rashid.
The keeper of the garden was an old man named Shaykh Ibrahim.
He found the two travelers sleeping in the garden, exhausted.
He decided not to beat them, instead he let them rest and was kind to them.
He brought them food and they requeste
