| Just at this time there came to Kermanshah the young and pleasure-seeking Caliph. |
| The night-owl begged him to relate it, and the Caliph commenced to relate what we already know. |
| The Fatimid caliphs belonged to the Shia tradition, which claimed descent from the fourth Caliph, Ali, and his wife Fatima, the daughter of the Prophet. |
| These have been assigned to the reign of the Fatimid Caliph al-Mustansir based on comparisons with other media such as textiles. |
| At last he went to the palace one day, and, being informed that the Caliph was making his ablutions prior to his prayers, sat down in an antechamber. |
| It was therefore possible for Feisal to be both the Caliph to the Sunnis and the true Imam to the Shi'ites. |
