many people have held it lawful to do forbidden acts. If in laying out the 
wall you lay it out with the (mental) purpose, saying (I intend this as) 
a mosque, certainly in the presence of God you will obtain merit, (and) you 
will be delivered from the evil designs of the infidels. Be not over-much 
afflicted.”* 
The Sultan Satuq having heard these words, rejoiced (and) returned 
home. 
In the morning (when) the sun rose Harun caused to make proclama¬ 
tion, saying : “ Let all the troops and chiefs assemble at the place (where) 
the temple is to be built.” All the infidels assembled at the place (where) 
the temple was to be built. 
Harun having sent and fetched the Holy Sultan, said : “ Oh child ! if 
you are of our faith, do the same works that we do. What we bowf the 
head to, do you also bow (your) head to. We, this day, are building a 
temple. Do you first, leading, place the bricks ; our heart will at oncej be¬ 
come at ease.” 
The Holy Sultan said : “ Very well,” and of his own accord tucking 
up the front § (skirt of his robe) to his waist, and turning up the sleeve of 
his fore-arm, with all his friends, (forming) the (mental) intention of 
(building) a mosque, lifting up the bricks by twos, he went and took and 
deposited them at the place for building the idol-temple. 
The third time he had gone to take |( a brick, Harun called out say¬ 
ing : “ Oh, my child! my son! stop; more than this it is not in my 
power to cause your body to work.^f Even now there was an object of 
mine in my causing you to do thus. Now my heart has become at ease. 
Now whatsoever you may please, (that) do.” 
Having said (this) the whole of his troops returned and settled down.
