On 31st August, after praying "a two-bow prayer," he bade adieu to Shaykh Hamid, and with Nur and the boy Mohammed, joined the caravan bound for Mecca, the route taken being the celebrated road through the arid Nejd made by Zubaydah, wife of Harun al Rashid.
Have I not said that we will not argue on subjects of religion? To your business, man." So Politian drew us together to the other end of the chamber, and there wed us as best he might, with Martina for witness and the solemn Moslems for congregation. When it was over, Harun commanded my wife to lead me before him.
Then the tables were laid and they ate; after which the dishes were removed and they washed their hands and the wine-service was set on with flagons and bowls in due order. The cup went round till it came to the Caliph, Harun al-Rashid, who refused the draught, and the mock Caliph said to Ja'afar, "What mattereth thy friend that he drinketh not?"

She paid the first year's tribute; and soon the great Moslem army set out on its homeward march. When Harun was not quite twenty-one years old he became caliph. He began his reign by appointing very able ministers, who carried on the work of the government so well that they greatly improved the condition of the people.
Doubtless thou hast been getting drunk again and beating thy mother! And they tell a tale concerning The Caliph Harun al-Rashid went up one noon-tide to his couch, to lie down; and mounting, found upon the bed-clothes semen freshly emitted; whereat he was startled and troubled with sore trouble.
