Now behind Saladin stood that old and famous imaum who had been with him and Hassan when he commanded the brethren to depart from Damascus, who all this while had listened to everything that passed with a sour smile.

Leaning forward, he whispered in his master's ear, who considered a moment, then answered him: "It is good.

Do so." So the imaum left the court, and returned presently carrying two small boxes of sandalwood tied with silk and sealed, so like each other that none could tell them apart, which boxes he passed continually from his right hand to his left and from his left hand to his right, then gave them to Saladin.
"In one of these," said the Sultan, "is that jewel known as the enchanted Star and the Luck of the House of Hassan, which the prince presented to his conqueror on the day of Hattin, and for the desire of which my captain Abdullah became a traitor and was brought to death.

In the other is a pebble of the same weight.
Come, my niece, take you these boxes and give them to your kinsmen, to each the box you will.

The jewel that is called the Star of Hassan is magical, and has virtue, so they say.
