"Then I swear by the temple, round which walk the men who built it from the tribes of Quraish and Jurhum./ "An oath, that you are verily two excellent chiefs, who are found worthy of honor in every condition, between ease and distress./ "The two endeavorers from the tribe of Ghaiz bin Murrah strove in making peace after the connection between the tribes had become broken, on account of the shedding of blood./ "You repaired with peace the condition of the tribes of 'Abs and Zubyán, after they had fought with one another, and ground up the perfume of Manshim between them
