What 'Isa ibn Hisham Told Us. Muhammad al-Muwaylihi

I listened as the Pāshā’s descendant scolded the woman while the woman’s friend kept offering excuses. But the woman herself would have none of it:

      “How dare you scold anyone like that?” she yelled in rebuke. “Only men who take care of me and respond to my wishes and needs are permitted such rash displays of temper. Only yesterday, I asked you to buy me that necklace that the jewelers received from Paris in the last post. At first you promised to buy it, but then you refused claiming you were hard up. Then today I find out you’ve bought a stallion for a huge sum of money. How can you expect me to keep myself only for you, when other men who are infatuated by me are eager to respond to my demands?”

      I listened now as the Pāshā’s descendant replied, with sweat pouring off his brow and panic cutting short his breaths:

      “I swear by God,” he said, “I haven’t bought anything. In fact, I’ve had to sell some things to get enough cash to buy you the necklace. Don’t be deceived by the things they’re saying about how wealthy this vile and treacherous friend is or by rumors about my poverty and my lands being in pawn. You know very well how much money is coming to me from the profits of the court cases I have pending. The lawyer keeps telling you all about it.”

      No sooner had his colleague heard him call him by those two epithets than he flew into a terrible rage and gave him a resounding slap. The target of his curses promised in his turn to appoint seconds. Now a further commotion arose at the gaming table between two friends, one of whom had won and the other lost. Elsewhere one of them was asking his brother for a loan, and another who was bankrupt was asking a wealthy man for a loan that he would not be repaying. The quarrel eventually resorted to fisticuffs and yet again ended up with the appointment of witnesses. Still another dispute occurred in the corner of the room where people were looking at pictures of racing horses. One of them kept saying his horse had won and the other man’s came next; his groom was intelligent and was the son of an intelligent father; the other man’s stallion was short whereas his was tall; you have to admit, one of them claimed, that there’s a clear difference in their weights. The quarrels and insults kept getting worse, and the conversation degenerated into a fight. All the while the woman was flitting from one circle to another like a slinky viper. At her whim, the fire of discord was put out, but then she would rekindle it again for her own vicious intentions.
