To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But his illus- trious master said, " It is thee, not me, whom this heads- man shall slay ; he who shall slay me will arrive to-morrow." When the morrow was come, about an hour after the time of the morning prayer, he said again, "He who is to slay me is now come." Shortly after this, a party oi farrdshes arrived and led out Seyyid YahyA and the Yezdl from the tent. Then the headsman, just as Seyyid Yahyd had fore- told, administered to the youth the draught of martyrdom ; but, when his glance f...ell on Sejryid Yahyd, he said, " I am ashamed before the face of God's Apostle, and will never lift my hand to slay his offspring," neither would he, for all their importunity, consent to do their bidding. Then one who had lost two brothers in the earlier part of the war, and therefore cherished a deep resentment, said, "I wiU kill him." And he loosed the shawl wherewith Seyyid Yahyd was girt, cast it round his neck, and drew it tight. And others beat his holy body with sticks and stones, dragging it hither and thither over the plain, till his soul soared falcon-like to the branches of paradise.
