Muslim Slave System in Medieval India c16.64

c16.64

⁷ A devout Muslim Uwayah Qami lived in the valley of Urfa. He told Umar and All that when I learnt that a tooth of the Prophet had been martyred (in the Battle of Uhud) I broke one of mine. Then I thought that perhaps some other tooth of his had been martyred. So, I broke all my teeth It is only after that that I felt at peace (Shykh Fariduddin Attar, *Tazkirat-ul-Auliya*, trs. into Urdu by Maulana Zubair Afzal Usmani, Delhi, n.d., 16, and quoted by Sita Ram Goel, *Islam vis-a-vis Hindu Temples*, New Delhi, 1993, 59-60).
