Here are songs in honor of our house, Hatim answered, proudly 'songs by great poets; and they will be repeated until all Arabia is filled with our glory. "'Alas! Thou hast ruined me! the elder cried, beating his breast. "'What! said Hatim, indignantly. 'Carest thou more for the dirty brutes than for the crown of honor I bought with them?" Here the Arab paused.
When she came to the first door the second time, and received her son's lecture on the sin of avarice; she suddenly threw off her disguise, and said, "I told thee, my son, not to think of imitating Hatim. By him I have been served three times running, in this very manner, without ever a question being asked."
We were much pleased and amused at his quaint expressions of admiration for a mutual friend in New York at whose hospitable house we had all received cordial entertainment. He said: "The great Hindoo, Hatim Tayi, was nothing by the side of such hospitality as hers. Hatim Tayi would soon lose his reputation." His appreciation of the poems of H. H. was often expressed.
His mother dissuaded him, saying, "Think not, my son, of imitating Hatim: it is an effort thou canst not accomplish;" and in order to prove what she said, the mother assumed the garb of a fakir, and acted as above related.
The case is Hatim's philanthropy in respect to the old woodman, which on the part of any other than Hatim might seem super-human. It is related by grave historians, that Hatim actually built an alms-house of this description.

If it should be that time proves powerless over your sorrows, I would bring employment to its aid.... Heed me now right well.
I begged of him to relate circumstantially a few instances on that score, that I might hear them, and endeavour to act accordingly. Then that person began to relate as follows, some of the adventures of Hatim Ta'i.
"And from that day through all his days Hatim wore the brown nut with the three seeds in it; nor was there ever such an amulet before or since; for, besides being defended by the genii who are Solomon's servants, he grew one of the exemplars promised by God, having in himself every virtue.
To his entreaties, the strangers listened hard-heartedly; at last he said to them: "Am not I Hatim good as he? Let him go, and take me. "And knocking the chains from the unfortunate, he had them put on himself, and wore them until the ransom came. "In his eyes a poet was greater than a king, and than singing a song well the only thing better was being the subject of a song.
