Hajjáj then sent the head, and royal hostages and treasures to Walíd, the Khalífah of the time. When the Khalífah read the letter, brought with the presents, he praised the great and glorious God. He sold some of those female slaves of royal birth, and some he presented to others. When he saw Hasanah, Rái Dáhar’s niece, he was struck with her beauty and fine features. Abdullah son of Abbás applied to him for her hand. Walíd said “O my cousin, this girl is exceedingly beautiful and perfect in every way. I have become so enamoured of her that I should like to keep her for myself. But as you want her, it is much better that she should be your wife and bear you a son. She is more fit for you.” Accordingly, with his permission, Abdullah married her. They lived together for a long time but she never bore a child.
