Al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf,
Response to Abd al-Malik
“ And her price, O Commander of the Faithful, is thirty thousand dirhems. And as to the third girl, truly her glance is languishing, her hand exquisite, her form faultless; she is grateful for little, obedient to her friend; her elegance is astonishing, as though she were descended from a gazelle. And her price, O Commander of the Faithful, is eighty thousand dirhems. ”
