1. When I asked Khulayʿah herself to marry me,

    Khulayʿah said, “I see that you have no wealth.”

  2. “My wealth was consumed, O Khulayʿah, by my generosity,

    my lavish spending, and my shouldering of heavy burdens.

  3. Truly, by your forefather, had you witnessed my stands in battle

    on the mountainside, the day I shrouded the champions,

  4. my sword would surely have made you glad to become a servant

    in my household, when even armored warriors shrank from combat.”
