Among what he gave him was a set of horseshoes with their nails, all of pure gold, and he said to him: "When you disembark from the sea, shoe your horses with them."

When the sultan saw him he said to him jestingly: "Āmadī ki zar barī bā dilbarī ṣanam khurī; zar na-barī wa sar nihī", meaning: "You came to carry off gold to spend with the beautiful idols; you will carry off no gold, and you will leave your head here." He said this to him in a spirit of familiarity, then said to him: "Set your mind at rest; I am marching against the rebels, and I will give you many times what they took from you."
