of its malady.
A basket of dates during his reign sufficed to feed one
hundred men for several days, and so did a basket of rice,—
a proof of his meritoriousness.
One hot day as he was asleep on the roof of his house a
man came with the intention of assassinating him. He
placed himself at the Imam's head with a drawn dagger
in his hand, but he was powerless to strike because God
restrained him. On awaking, the Imam, perceiving the
assassin standing near his head, asked him what he wanted.
" Nothing will avail me but your pardon," he replied ; " for
I came to murder you." The Imam forgave him, and no
evil befell him for what he had attempted.
A B^dawy having lost a she-camel went in search of it
over hill and dale. At length he came upon a foot-print, the
size of which excited his wonder. Following its traces he

and heard a voice from the outskirts saying to him: " Be
congratulated, for your camel is in such a place. Go, then,

in the course which he is pursuing, for it is the career of
the best of men, [Muhammad,] upon whom be the richest
blessings and peace !" The Bedawy returned in great fear,
the tips of his fingers pressed together over his distracted
breast, and found his camel in the spot indicated by the
speaker. Mounting it, he rode off to the Imam, whom he
found in company with others, and related what he had wit
nessed and what had been said to him. It so happened that
the Imam himself had seen in a dream a Bedawy coming to
him and announcing that he was leading the life of the best
of men, [Muhammad,] and had recounted it to some of his
friends before the B^dawy's arrival.
The Imam's household was supplied with provisions from
the stores of the Beit-el-Mal, but he did not possess a caldron
