To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There exists a poem, dating from a little time before Mahomet, which says that cares (_quatrain_ 62) are like the camels, roaming in the daytime on the distant pastures and at nightreturning to the camp. They would collect as warriors round theflag. It was the custom for each family to have a flag(_quatrain_ 65), a cloth fastened to a lance, round which itgathered. Mahomet's big standard was called the Eagle, --and, bythe bye, his seven swords had names, such as "possessor of thespine. " With _...quatrain_ 68 we may compare the verses of a Christian poet, quoted by Tabari: And where is now the lord of Hadr, he that built it and laid taxes on the land of Tigris? A house of marble he established, whereof the covering was made of plaster; in the galbes were nests of birds. He feared no sorry fate. See, the dominion of him has departed. Loneliness is on his threshold.
"Consider how you treat the poor, " said Dshafer ben Mahomet, whopilgrimaged from Mecca to Baghdad between fifty and sixty times;"they are the treasures of this world, the keys of the other.
