88 – Al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; Saʿīd ibn Yaḥyā al-Umawī narrated to us. He said: My father recited to me these verses by Ibn Ḥaṭṭān about Ibn Muljam:

I have never seen a bride-price proffered by a generous man
to match Qutām’s among the vaunted caravans:
Three thousand (coins), a slave, a singing-girl—
and the stroke that struck ʿAlī with a sharpened sword.
