“‘O Shamara gardens, there is nothing like you in view. I have ophthalmia that has made the
doctor tired.
Your earth is camphor; your light is a flower giving a good scent after plowing.
“When Harun woke and ordered me to sing him a song, I song him these lines. So he said: ‘Woe
unto you! Where is Shamara? I told him about the story. So he ordered fourteen thousand dinars
to be given to me, and I bought it.”[2] 3. Yehya al‐Mekki song Harun a song and delighted him,
and he said to him: “O Yehya, rise and take what is in the house.” Yehya thought that there were
carpets and garments in the house. However, he found in it notes and coins. They were carried

song through this poetry line:
Ni‘man’s belly exudes musk when she walks among ashamed women. Al‐Rashid became
delighted. He ordered the shackles to be untied. Then he ordered him to be covered with robes of
honor, and ordered thirty thousand dirhams to be given to him.[1] 6. Ibrahim al‐Mousili sang al‐
Rashid one of his best songs, and he became so delighted that he said: “I have never heard a song
greater in gathering generosity, delight, and good skill than this one!” So Ibrahim asked him: “If a
man granted you two hundred thousand dirhams, would you be delighted at it or at this song?”
“By Allah, I am more delighted at this song than the two million dirhams,” al‐Rashid replied.
