Episode 2

I'm still waiting for what you have to say.

My words ?

On what ?

On what occupies your brain and who has taken possession of your mind.

Nothing important.

Let your mom know first,

and she will decide whether it is important or not.

I don't want to worry about that.

Ahmad!

As you wish oh oum Ahmad.

My uncle offered to work in the house of wisdom as a copyist.

And your studies ?

And your master?

I will reconcile if Allah wills between work and studies.

But what if you can't do it?

I mean if work keeps you studying?

I informed my uncle of this and he promised me that he would find a solution for me.

You know my son that your studies are more important to me than everything else

and that Allah will not perpetuate our sustenance for us.

But oh mom,

we need this money.

You see where our situation is.

I consider your concern for me oh my son

because you are the man of the house

and the manager.

I am satisfied with your going back and forth to your master.

The apple of my eye is when you carry the leaves and the inkwell.

I don't know what to tell you, my son,

but there is an embarrassment in my heart regarding this work.

I'm afraid it will take you a long time and keep you out of school.

Be sure, I would never put the ephemeral before the perpetual.

I would never sell science for a few goods from this world.

So what do you say?

Here is the key to the store.

The key ?

The key to the store?

Yes.

You are going to pick up the shoes, the skins, the glue and the ropes to leave in the morning.

I warn you several times to find you in the shop to pawn without work.

I'm going to open the shop,

we meet again in the morning and the royalty belongs to Allah.

I'm going to come in and work.

Mum.

But how could we pay the shop rent?

I gave Ahmad's mother this month's rent.

And it is Allah who gives subsistence to my son.

Mom, I'm afraid I can't get enough for ..

Don't start being defeatist right now.

You can collect a lot of money.

And from there, we can save to find you a beautiful bride.

A bride ?

Yes, a bride.

Can't you see your peers have been married for years

when you are over thirty and you are still not married.

I promise you oh mom to work night and day to save the dowry for my bride.

I see you left defeatism after hearing about the bride.

I don't think you are like Antar and she is like Abla.

Mom, I promise not to be a defeatist.

We will see.

You will see ô oum Aamer.

At work ô Aamer, at the shop!

My bride.

She seems to be a good girl.

May Allah help him.

She is so good that she lost her father at the market

like a child going out with his parents for the first time.

You must help him O Khaled.

I will spare no effort for her O mom.

Tomorrow I will look at the market and I will question the sellers and traders.

Maybe they know his father.

Go to the hostels where new arrivals park.

Ask after a caravan that came today from Khorrassan.

This is the thing to do.

This is the thing to do.

O mom, I entrust the daughter to you, make sure she doesn't sleep hungry.

She refuses to eat but I will try.

Peace be with you.

Peace be with you.

I'm going to untie your hands and your mouth so you can eat.

If you start shouting again, we will tie you up again.

Take it off, O Handalah.

What did I do to make you do this to me?

Do you not fear Allah?

Give up those useless words

and eat your food because the day is long and hunger is hard.

I don't need your food.

Listen to me, young girl.

You will only hurt yourself by refusing to eat.

You will not leave this house except towards your master's house.

Whether you eat or starve, it's the same for me.

What can I do to you when mercy has been taken from your heart.

Is there not an atom of compassion in your heart?

An atom ?

Rather atoms.

If I didn't have an atom of compassion, I wouldn't have brought you back to eat despite your bad tongue

that I will make sure to train so that she is worthy of an obedient and beautiful servant.

I am not a servant, rude woman.

I am a free girl, the daughter of a free and noble merchant.

I will remain free until the last day of my life.

The era of freedom is over.

From today, you are the servant of Zomourouda.

You have to convince yourself of that.

Have you heard of two lost girls, my brother?

O aba Faouz.

Aba Faouz.

Where were you seeing

I was exhausted looking for you.

The caravan must leave, we have been too late.

O aba Rustom, didn't I ask you to wait another day yesterday?

I swear I tried but people want to leave.

If you wish to accompany us, if not, wait until you finish what you have to do.

There is no strength and power except in Allah.

There is no strength and power except in Allah.

Pity oh majesty.

Pity oh majesty.

Tell who was with you in this bad plot and save yourself from certain death.

I do not know anyone.

You are dead if you do not speak ô ibn al-Ayham.

I swear I won't let them stop hitting you until you admit the names of all the traitors and renegades with you.

I told you I didn't know anyone.

Your silence precipitates your end ô ibn al-Ayham.

Take it.

Take him and don't leave him until he confesses all the names of the traitors with him.

Pity oh majesty.

Pity oh majesty.

Don't worry, majesty.

This traitor will admit sooner or later.

No, no, no oh Yahya.

It would be better if he confessed soon enough.

What do you know

there may be many strategists behind this plot

and some of them may be behind us.

Three days O Yahya.

You have three days before you to bring those who are involved with him.

Otherwise, I swear I would put everyone with him.

At your command, majesty.

Until when ?

How long are you going to hold ô ibn al-Ayham?

My nephew is a deposit in your hands, O Zayd.

With the permission of Allah I would be a support and a help to him.

May Allah bless you.

I hope that you will help him in reconciling his studies and his work.

Don't worry O aba Hanbal, don't worry.

May Allah bless you.

Peace be with you.

Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and his blessings.

Ahmad.

Aren't you going to start work?

Certainly, with the help of Allah.

My shop.

Aah, my shop.

Peace be with you.

Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and his blessings.

I am Aamer the shoemaker, the owner of the shop and the shoe patcher.

Congratulations ô Aamer.

May Allah bless you,

may Allah bless you.

May Allah make it a door of sustenance and happiness.

God willing.

We place our trust in Allah.

And what excellent confidence.

The first shoes you make with camel skin, you will give them to the minister's son.

Woe to you O aba Sarhan,

lower your voice, the eyes of the prince of the believer are behind every corner of the market.

Why all the frown that doesn't leave your grumpy face?

Grumpy?

Nothing at all, nothing at all.

Nothing at all ?

Handalah, I know you like the palm of my hand.

Say what you got.

To be honest,

I fear that we will be exposed and that we will be thrown in Baghdad prison instead of having the money for the sale of this girl.

O man, you who are so intelligent.

Do we not have an act which proves that she is our servant?

Where did you forget?

I have not forgotten.

But the act that we found at the market is that of another girl who does not have the same name as this one.

In addition, I fear that it will tell the whole truth to the one who will come to buy it tomorrow.

Who will believe a servant and deny her owners?

The act we have is its reality that no one can challenge.

Fear nothing and give up that fear.

Sorry, sir.

I am late for my master.

I know.

I know I promised your uncle to watch over this.

However ..

Believers must respect their conditions, sir.

I will keep my promise oh Ahmad

however, once the course is over,

you will have to come back to work because we have a lot of work today.

I will respect my commitment if Allah wills it.

Peace be with you.

Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah.

Do not despair of the mercy of Allah O my sister.

We will search throughout Baghdad.

Baghdad is very large ô Shahinaz.

But ..

The owner of the hostel told us that the Khorrassan caravan left Baghdad.

Your father may have stayed.

Why are you pessimistic?

Be reassured, O Shahinaz.

I'm going to take you home and I promise I won't stop looking for them.

Yes.

I will not close my eyes until I find them.

Yes Yes.

Khaled.

Why haven't you opened your shop yet?

Some asked after you.

I was busy.

What is she and why is she crying?

The poor, she lost her family.

How did she lose her family?

I'll tell you about it later.

Peace be with you.

Peace be with you.

Let's go, oh Shahinaz, come on.

Order your secretary on Medina to send a writing like this.

At your command.

Yahya.

Yes, majesty.

Where are you with ibn al-Ayham?

I have the impression oh majesty that he begins to abandon his obstinacy and that he will begin to speak.

Do you have the impression?

Be reassured O majesty.

Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you will hear the news you are waiting for.

I would not be reassured

and I will not close my eyes until I catch these renegades and make an example of them for all the insurgents.

As you wish, majesty.

I will have what I want.

I would have what I want, otherwise!

In the seat of my master I am blamed for my delay

and in the house of Wisdom, I am blamed for my delay.

What can Ahmad ibn Hanbal do to reconcile studies and work?

The governor tells you he wants news from the market.

No information is missing, whether small or large.

And focus more on what the scholars say.

The governor is right to fear these scientists who have deviated from the right path.

Effectively.

They are best able to mobilize young people to harm the Caliph and the country

and they are most apt to cause trouble among people in one way or another.

Anyway.

As long as there is good for the nation in this, I will spare no effort in what has been asked of me.

I am not afraid for him because of his late return home ô oum Khaled.

All I fear is that the work will captivate him and that he will forget his lessons

and that the acquisition of subsistence does not exclude him from studies on the pretext that we need money.

This will not happen with the permission of Allah.

We all know what you did for him.

I would give my life for its success ô oum Khaled.

Ahmad is still at the start of the road.

He is constantly in need of someone to help him with the difficulties of life

and who will remove obstacles until he reaches his goal.

My greatest ambition ô oum Khaled and to see him being a symbol of this nation.

You are not negligent towards him oh oum Ahmad.

What you do for him, strong men struggle to do.

You have dedicated your years, your life and everything you own to her

until he became a great man.

Despite this, oh oum Khaled, I think it is because of me that he cannot study.

It is I whose heart has not been split for his only son, leaving him torn between his work and his studies.

Don't worry oh oum Ahmad, things are simpler than you imagine.

Peace be upon you, majesty, the prince of believers.

Peace be upon you O Yahya.

This is the list with the names of all the conspirators oh majesty.

You finally got it O Yahya.

Didn't I tell you, majesty, it's a matter of time

so that this traitor confesses his crime and his accomplices.

Are you sure he didn't hide anything or hide a secret?

As for ibn al-Ayham, I am certain oh majesty that he has told us about everything he knows.

Do you not fear that there are people who participated in the plot with them that ibn al-Ayham does not know?

You talked about what O majesty thought.

And what are you going to do?

Two things oh majesty.

The first is to bring those whom ibn al-Ayham has confessed to have them before our eyes

perhaps we will know from them what ibn al-Ayham ignores.

As for the second thing oh majesty,

is to bring Yahya ibn Abdellah al-Talibi and keep him before our eyes.

He is their master and without him they are lost and do not know how to act.

It is an ingenious advice, O Yahya.

Leave al-Talibi under your son's supervision

and eliminate these renegades.

Inattention is the end of the prudent O Yahya.

Ja'far and abu Ja'far are under your orders, O majesty.

You are late, my son.

I apologize for the delay, oh mom.

Do not worry.

What have you O my son?

Why do you look sad?

Nothing at all.

Sorry, I interrupted your sleep.

How can I sleep while you are away?

You didn't tell me why you were late in coming back.

I'll tell you later.

Let me go, I'm exhausted and I want to sleep.

What have you O my son?

Are you complaining about something?

No oh mom.

It is only one thing that I would like to check before and I will tell you if Allah wills.

Do not worry.

Now I'm a bit exhausted and I want to sleep.

Good night.

Good night.

Faouz.

Is that your name?

We finally know something about you.

This comb is mine, it belongs to me.

You and everything you own is mine.

You understood ?

What is the history of this comb?

How does his story concern you?

Just answer the question.

What is the history of this comb?

It's a gift from my father.

He made it with his hands.

Give it to me.

I will keep it until you calm down.

If you behave well, I will give it back to you.

Not only.

I will make you live in a bliss that you have never experienced.

The most important thing is that you act well in front of your buyer.

I am not a servant.

I'm free.

The free one cannot be sold or bought even for all the treasures of the world.

You understood ?

I will stay free.

The days are between us O Faouz.

The days are between us.

So far I'm still sweet with you

however, for the next few days, you will see what you do not know about me.

Come.

Do what you want with me.

I'm free.

Free!

What is the problem with what you heard, oh Ahmad?

Isn't it the job of governors and officials to know everything that's going on in the state of the caliphate

what are the insurgents and renegades waiting for everywhere?

They did this only to preserve the religion and life of the envious and the troublemakers.

Furthermore, it is my duty and of everyone to help them to preserve my security and the security of the country.

I don't know oh my uncle.

Maybe you're right.

Don't worry oh Ahmad.

Leave political affairs to your men.

Political affairs concern us, my uncle.

Ahmad.

I can't argue with you.

Before you leave

take my mail and leave it in the governor's office on your way.

What does it contain?

Don't worry, just leave it in the closet.

Peace be with you.

May the peace be with you.

I wonder what is in this mail?

May Allah forgive you my uncle.

What do I have with the governor?

Do you know that he who helps an unjust, he is an unjust like him?

I know.

I thought you didn't know.

Maybe your uncle has a reason to do this.

Perhaps he thinks that by that he advises the governors and he warns them of a danger.

However, as far as you are concerned

that doesn't concern you, my son.

Yes oh mom.

If I didn't like it,

I would not have kept the mail with me and I would have forwarded it to the governor as my uncle asked me.

Have you read what it contains?

I seek protection from Allah from doing this.

It is a deposit and it is forbidden to open it.

You did well.

May Allah bless you my son.

However, you can find out what the mail contains at its address.

The mail must certainly include news from the market and from the scholars my uncle sent to the governor.

What do you think of doing mail?

I think I should give it to my uncle and tell him it's none of my business.

Just like I'm going to stop working in the house of wisdom

because I couldn't reconcile my work and my studies.

As for me, I have another opinion about it.

What is it?

How long are you going to stay like this O Faraj?

Fear lives in you and indigence never leaves you.

Isn't there hope to change your situation?

Who is here ?

Bahloul, welcome.

Come to the fire to warm you up.

It is out of the question, oh son of Um Faraj.

Are you calling me in the fire?

We recognize our Bahloul there.

O Bahloul.

Are we the day of the resurrection so that you fear my invitation?

Whoever looks at his feet ends up falling

and whoever looks in front of him, he arrives unharmed.

I did not understand.

What do you mean ?

Because you like to look at your feet.

O Allah strengthen us on reason and religion.

Amin.

Whoever looks at his feet ends up falling.

And you O Faraj, you like to look at your feet.

You may be right, oh Bahloul.

Where is the mail oh Ahmad?

I threw it into the river.

What ?!

I threw it into the river oh my uncle.

What took you to do this ?!

Where do you think I sold my religion for this world?

What I wanted to do oh Ahmad ..

I know your intention, my uncle.

Forgive me for what I did but I see causes different from yours to help the population.

Do you need an employee?

I don't have a job for thieves like you.

Get out of here.

I fear that Haroun ar-Rashid is no longer as before.

I note his great caution to keep his two children away from everything related to the Persians.

He selects their masters and teachers from among the real Arabs apart from the others.

If he pretends that he wishes them a healthy Arabic language, his arguments are futile.

He may have what he wants with al-Amin the son of Zoubayda since his mother is of Arab origin.

As for our nephew al-Ma'moun may Allah preserve him,

he will not have what he wants with a young man from whom Persian blood flows in his veins.

My fear of al-Ma'moun is greater than my fear of al-Amin ô al-Fadl.

How oh my father?

Al-Ma'moun is the son of our sister and of our origin.

Have you forgotten that al-Ma'moun also suffers from being the son of a Persian servant

and that he sees the place of Zoubayda al-Amin's son among the Bani Hashim and the Arabs while he does not.

So, oh my father?

What i fear

is that al-Ma'moun is trying to prove his loyalty to his Arab half

sacrificing us, his Persian uncles.

We came to look for a solution to our problem in a young man drowned in his personal problems.

Have you understood the seriousness of the danger, children of Barmak?

We have understood, my father.

However, what is the solution?

Do not worry.

I will find a solution.

Do you need an employee?

Get out of here.

Get out of here.

Peace be with you.

Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah.

What do you want ?

I am looking for a job.

Do you know how to make stirrups and saddles?

No.

So continue your research, there is room here only for someone who masters.

I searched all over the market and couldn't find a job until my feet were swollen.

I want to work at your place.

What would I do with you if you do not master our know-how?

Are all people born by mastering what they do?

Please, you will see that I will quickly master.

I want an employee who will help me, not that I will help.

And I am this employee.

Just give me a few days.

I have no time to waste with you ..

Go find a job elsewhere.

Sir, please.

Do not grieve, I take care of my mother.

I've been looking for work for days to have enough to subsist in vain.

Don't help the hardships of life against me.

You are so insistent O young man.

Please.

Okay.

However, I will keep you on trial for a few days.

I keep you if I see in you seriousness, honesty and work otherwise I will fire you as you came.

I promise you will find me better than you think.

The acts are more lasting than the melody of words O young man.

You'd better be like this.

Come on, roll up your sleeves and go to Farqad, the bean seller, and bring us our lunch.

Take, here is a quarter of a dirham for the beans and the same for the bread.

Do not be late.

I go there on the wings of an ostrich.

Hold on.

What?

What's your name ?

Faraj.

My name is Faraj.

Your name suits you.

Wait, take.

Take this bowl with you.

Okay.

What if the young man is tempted to steal the bowl and the money?

I should never have accepted him going with his uncle Ishaaq to the governor's house.

If something bad happens to him, I will never forgive myself.

However,

what did he do to be sanctioned?

All he did was get rid of a piece of mail he considered to be harmful to people.

I swear that if they hurt him, they will see what I cannot imagine.

I'll wait a bit and then see what I do.

Come on, sir, they're still hot.

They are hot indeed.

Sit down and eat with your teacher.

Okay.

You have proven to me, oh Faraj, that you are honest and active.

We're going to have your enthusiasm for work after eating.

Okay.

Go ahead.

Peace be with you.

Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah.

What happened to the governor?

Not much.

I stopped working in the house of wisdom.

You didn't tell me.

What happened between you and the governor?

What happened between us is not important oh mom.

What matters is that I left a job that was a help for us after that of Allah [Exalted Be He].

And now I have to look for a job again.

Is that what makes you so gloomy?

Is there anything worse than that, mom?

You scared me my son when you entered this state.

I even thought the governor had hurt you.

What you fear, my son, does not deserve as much concern.

Listen oh my son, we lived before your work

and we will live afterwards with the permission of Allah.

And how would we have the expenses oh mom?

Listen, oh my son.

Since you were little, I have made sure that you reach your goal and that you have what you want.

You and I know very well that you will only reach your goal with the lessons of your master.

Work oh my son not to let anything move you away from your dream.

I will not spare any effort until you are a symbol of this nation.

Moreover,

why all this worry for our daily expenses?

We have the shop rent.

It will support us if we need it.

However, oh mom.

Cease your obstinacy O young man.

You will never go back to work.

You devote yourself entirely to your lessons.

I will not discuss again with you on the subject.

Your science is more important and more sustainable.
