•oUR BELoVED MASTER• 137 not just the lord of this wretched person, but you are my lord as well! Make me triumphant over this dog this year, so that I can throw the dead body of this loathsome being into the jungle for the jackals to enjoy!” Imagine how many people must have endured witnessing this ridiculous exchange of words between these two men! There was a person by the name of Ba hi r. He was standing in the fairgrounds watching the crowds go by, when someone called Qa‘nab came up in front of him. Ba hi r asked him, “Qa‘nab, where has that horse of yours gone, which was called Bayzah?” Qa‘nab replied, “Where would she be? She is with me, but what is it to you? Why are you asking about her?” Ba hi r said, “I’m asking because this was your only horse that flew like the wind, because of which you were saved from my hands. Otherwise you would have been killed by me long ago!” Qa‘nab said in great confusion: “What are you talking about? When has there ever been a competition between the two of us? When was I riding away from you on my horse? This is a complete utter lie! Get lost from here you devil!” Upon this both prayed, “O Hubul , whoever is the liar and disbeliever should be killed by the one who is the truthful. ” Prior
