00:00A small caravan consisting of horses and camels was moving towards the main gate of Damascus.
00:08It was not an ordinary caravan, but it was of the bloodthirsty Tatari and Mongol tribes of the land of Kaukaf
00:14who had destroyed the Khwarazm empire many years ago.
00:19They had turned it into a minaret for the Muslims.
00:22Like a storm and a storm, these people were suddenly so overwhelmed
00:26that the great brave men bowed before them and then broke.
00:30Thus, the caravans of the Mongols used to come to the Muslim empire for trade
00:36and a large number of civilized people were able to afford the warm skins of the oxen and wolves.
00:42Mongol traders generally needed food items and clothes, etc.
00:49It was possible that these people had gained awareness of civilization and civilization through trade,
00:54but nature had something else in mind.
00:57The Muslims of Islam were day by day being oblivious to the rules of the Shariah and were being hunted by the Buddhists.
01:03In their reformation, many great personalities had failed.
01:07Nature had decided to punish them, and this punishment was very painful and terrifying.
01:13The Mongols, who were living in a state of ignorance,
01:17were led by a leader like Mochan, who, under the title of Genghis Khan,
01:21became a burden on the Khwarazm empire and broke.
01:24The Muslims were cut like carrots and radishes.
01:27Their land was ploughed under the horses of the Mongols.
01:31The cities of the cities became a pile of dust and rubble.
01:35The living people were turned into minarets of skulls.
01:38This process had not yet come to an end.
01:41The armies of the Mongols and Tatars were continuously plundering the Muslim territories.
01:46In this way, the arrival of these caravans spread fear and terror in all the cities.
01:51The Mongols were so powerful that it was necessary to fulfill their demands.
01:57The Abbasid Caliph of Baghdad was successful in exerting this influence to some extent.
02:02His existence was the last support for the Muslims.
02:06The presence of a large number of armies in Baghdad was to some extent satisfactory.
02:11Similarly, a caravan entered Damascus in 630 Hijri.
02:15The city of Qutub had already received the news.
02:18He welcomed the Tatari caravan at the city's front door.
02:22It was his responsibility that he did not let this caravan be subjected to any terrorism during its stay.
02:28The people who had escaped from the land of Khwarazm were inhabitants of many cities.
02:33This danger was always in their favor that they would not target any Tatari merchant for their revenge.
02:40What had happened in the past could be the cause of the destruction of the coming generations.
02:45Therefore, it was in their favor to be careful and live their lives.
02:49The caravan moved to the north of Damascus.
02:53The city of Qutub was behind it in its actions.
02:56When this caravan entered the area called Bayt-ul-Ahzar,
03:00the city of Qutub introduced itself to them and assured them of complete security.
03:06The caravan's leader was a Tatari named Bilaqa Khan.
03:10He was the only person in his caravan who knew Arabic.
03:14He thanked the city of Qutub and gave details about his stay.
03:19In a short while, the city of Qutub took some necessary steps and left from there.
03:24The people of the caravan started setting up their tents there.
03:27Bayt-ul-Ahzar was a small square where no one was allowed to live independently or build a house.
03:34The city of Qutub was dedicated to merchants who had to stay in Damascus temporarily.
03:40There was a well on the left side of this square where water was always available.
03:45Bilaqa Khan gave some instructions to his companions and sat on a large Iranian carpet in his tent.
03:51This carpet was set up for him.
03:53The day was setting and Bilaqa Khan wanted to rest today.
03:57He had a large treasure of fine leather that he had to sell in Damascus.
04:02When the people of Damascus passed by Bayt-ul-Ahzar, they were amazed and couldn't take their eyes off of them.
04:08Bilaqa Khan was always happy to see the fear on their faces.
04:14The evening fell and the darkness of the night began to increase.
04:17In this situation, a local person came there with his face covered.
04:21His arrival and manner was very suspicious.
04:23The guards of the caravan wanted to stop him, so he took the name of Bilaqa Khan and told him his name,
04:29on which he was satisfied.
04:31Nawarid was the famous trader of Burda Market in Damascus, Abu Dawood.
04:36He reached the tent of Bilaqa Khan in the support of a guard.
04:40He removed the curtain of the tent and went inside.
04:43Bilaqa Khan just smiled at his face.
04:46He pointed at the guard and he came out.
04:49Bilaqa Khan pointed at Abu Dawood and Abu Dawood put a tarp on a village pillow.
04:55Both looked at each other silently for a while.
04:59Bilaqa Khan filled two cups in the corner and extended one to him.
05:04Abu Dawood took the cup as if it was a special gift.
05:08Abu Dawood!
05:09Bilaqa Khan took a sip and said,
05:11I was waiting for you.
05:13The whole day passed while I was waiting for you.
05:16I thought you might have left this area.
05:19First, if we talk about work, it's okay.
05:23If you are eager to trade first, then I have no objection.
05:27Bilaqa Khan said,
05:28How many grains do you have?
05:30I don't have grains, but…
05:32But what?
05:33Abu Dawood was shocked.
05:35They are very precious.
05:37Bilaqa Khan smiled in a mannish way,
05:39on which Abu Dawood's face raised.
05:42What will you take?
05:43I am interested in their sale.
05:45I think I should collect all the profits myself instead of giving more profit to someone else.
05:50Bilaqa Khan took a sip of the cup and started washing his head.
05:54I didn't like what you said.
05:56This is business, Abu Dawood.
05:58The only difference is that you used to be my only buyer.
06:01But now there will be many buyers.
06:03I want to keep all the profits that you used to get.
06:07Bilaqa Khan's tone began to spread indifference.
06:10Okay, you can do whatever you want.
06:13It's your stuff.
06:14Now I'm leaving.
06:15Abu Dawood's face was becoming pale with failure.
06:18He put the cup aside and stood up to fix his clothes.
06:22He moved to the side of the curtain.
06:24Suddenly, he turned around as if he remembered something.
06:27Bilaqa Khan was looking at him carelessly.
06:30He suddenly stopped turning around.
06:32I think it is important to tell you one thing.
06:35Bilaqa Khan started looking at him with inquisitive eyes.
06:38Abu Dawood's pale face had suddenly disappeared.
06:43Instead, it was replaced by a displeased smile.
06:46You will not be able to sell a single grain here.
06:49Because there are some laws and principles everywhere.
06:52Similarly, a new comer cannot sell goods directly to the customer.
06:56It is forbidden to sell goods only to a local trader.
07:00Your goods are of a different kind.
07:02I am sure that you will not be able to sell a single grain to anyone.
07:06The people here will also ask you for bail
07:09that the grain purchased will not escape by deceiving them.
07:12This bail is only for the local trader,
07:15not for the traders who come from outside.
07:18Abu Dawood's face was smiling deeply
07:21when Bilaqa Khan got upset with him.
07:24He was right to some extent.
07:26His bail was not acceptable.
07:28Hmm, then what do you want?
07:31Bilaqa Khan inquired.
07:33What do I want?
07:35You talk to me.
07:36Do you want to sell me the goods or not?
07:38Okay, come here and sit.
07:40Abu Dawood smiled and went back to his village.
07:43Bilaqa Khan filled two more cups and one of them increased his cup.
07:47Look, these goods are not for ordinary people.
07:50In fact, they are needed by special people.
07:53You understand, don't you?
07:55Bilaqa Khan said.
07:56Yes, how many grains are there?
07:58Forty.
07:59What will you take?
08:00Two-thirds of the price.
08:02No, no, this is too much.
08:04If you look at the goods, you will realize that this price is also nothing.
08:09No, Bilaqa Khan, I cannot make such a deal.
08:12No matter how much the goods are,
08:14you have to pay the price according to the grain.
08:17Keep in mind that if a grain escapes,
08:19its price is not you, but I have to return it.
08:22I think it would be better to proceed after seeing the goods.
08:26Bilaqa Khan called out to someone outside.
08:29In a few moments, a lonely man entered the tent,
08:32who looked gloomy.
08:35Bilaqa Khan said something to him in Tatar language,
08:38so he shook his head and left.
08:40Abu Dawood remained silent during this time.
08:43Bilaqa Khan made two more grains and increased one of them.
08:47Whenever Abu Dawood saw the grains increasing,
08:50his eyes shone with jealousy.
08:53Bilaqa Khan was very hungry.
08:56That time he kept the grain in such a way
08:59that he could fill it whenever he wanted.
09:01In a few moments, the same lonely man
09:03was seen entering the tent again.
09:06This time he was not alone,
09:08but he had a ten-year-old handsome boy with him.
09:11The red and white color and elegance
09:14had made him even more attractive.
09:16When Abu Dawood looked at him,
09:18he forgot the grain and just stared at it.
09:21By God, this seems to be the meaning of the servant of heaven.
09:24Abu Dawood muttered involuntarily.
09:27I did not say that the goods are very expensive.
09:30These special grains are only with me
09:32and can only be for people with taste.
09:35Bilaqa Khan was hurt by seeing the hot iron.
09:38Abu Dawood, I have brought these special grains
09:41from the valley of Qaaf.
09:43By the way, the merchant of Burda Mandi,
09:46Abdur Rahim Samarkandi, had also come before you.
09:48Bilaqa Khan became silent on purpose.
09:50Abu Dawood, who was still following the same boy,
09:53was shocked to hear the name of Abdur Rahim.
09:56He did not care about the business.
09:58Abu Dawood left in a hurry.
10:00Bilaqa Khan, if you want to do business,
10:02do it with a person like me.
10:04There is a high stake in my market.
10:06Look, no other merchant has been able to sell more goods
10:09than my speed so far.
10:11Abu Dawood, Bilaqa Khan smiled and said,
10:14Forget about the sale of goods.
10:16These grains are so amazing
10:18that they will find their buyers themselves.
10:20There is no need for anyone's high stake for them.
10:23How many grains did you tell?
10:25Forty grains.
10:26Look, Bilaqa Khan, Abu Dawood
10:28has now paid full attention to him.
10:31You say the price of the goods,
10:33do not get involved in the shares.
10:35You will probably be left in a loss.
10:37If you want to do business,
10:38what is the question of loss and profit?
10:40If you want, I can give you five dinars
10:42for each grain.
10:43Although I have not seen all the goods yet.
10:45Abu Dawood has set the price.
10:47Abu Dawood, Bilaqa Khan,
10:49said with his face,
10:50Say the price according to the goods.
10:52Five dinars is not the price of his shoes.
10:55Anyway, the price will remain the same,
10:57that is, two-thirds of the last bid.
10:59If someone is not ready for this price,
11:01I will prefer to take the goods to another city.
11:04Is there no other way?
11:06No.
11:07Shall I say the last thing?
11:08Yes, say it with pleasure.
11:10If you are so adamant,
11:11then take one-third of the last bid,
11:13not two-thirds.
11:14No, the price cannot be less.
11:16Okay, then I'll go.
11:18Think about it,
11:19then do not complain
11:20that I will make a deal with someone else.
11:22Bilaqa Khan was looking at him carefully.
11:25Abu Dawood thought for a moment
11:27and then shook his head in denial.
11:29Bilaqa Khan listened to him
11:31and fell into deep thought.
11:32Abu Dawood was a prominent trader
11:34in Damascus.
11:36If he had backed off,
11:38then perhaps another trader
11:40would have supported him.
11:42No one was ready for the second price
11:44that Bilaqa Khan had in mind.
11:46Abu Dawood,
11:47shall I say the last thing?
11:49Bilaqa Khan thought about it and said.
11:51Abu Dawood shook his head,
11:53then he said to his moustache,
11:55Neither your thing nor mine.
11:57Let's make a deal in the middle.
11:59Half-half.
12:00Upon hearing this,
12:01Abu Dawood began to tremble.
12:03I don't know why,
12:04but he did not want
12:05to give up this deal.
12:07After a moment of silence,
12:08he smiled and said yes.
12:10Bilaqa Khan's face
12:11was also filled with joy.
12:13In the same joy,
12:14he began to walk step by step.
12:16Bilaqa Khan,
12:17where he was a trader,
12:18he also traded slaves
12:19and maids.
12:21This thought came to him
12:22only a short while ago
12:23when he had received slaves
12:25in large quantities
12:26from Khaqan-e-Azam
12:29In these areas,
12:30a few years ago,
12:31the light of Islam had reached.
12:33Belief had not yet been fully
12:35illuminated in the hearts
12:37that the Mongols had also
12:38plundered these areas
12:39in the hostility of Islam.
12:41The innocent citizens here
12:42had to face death
12:43and destruction
12:44just for the crime
12:45of why they joined
12:46the Muslim group.
12:48The young and the old
12:49were destroyed
12:50and their homes
12:51were set on fire
12:52and their women
12:53and children
12:54were made slaves.
12:56Then it was even worse
12:57that their children
12:58were separated from their mothers
12:59and sent to different cities
13:01where the Mongol Tatars
13:03sold them to the Muslims
13:04as a burden on food.
13:07Bilaqa Khan had also
13:08reached Damascus
13:09with the same plight.
13:12The Burda Mandi of Damascus
13:13was full the next day.
13:15Abu Dawood's special
13:17governors had made
13:18such a ruckus in the whole city
13:19that the slaves of heaven
13:20were being auctioned.
13:22The rich people of Damascus
13:24were gathered here
13:25to see the splendor
13:26of heaven.
13:28Bilaqa Khan was sitting
13:29on a high pillow
13:30on one side.
13:31Around the pillow
13:32all the innocent children
13:33were standing
13:34wrapped in white robes
13:35who were going to be
13:36auctioned.
13:38Abu Dawood had made
13:39a special arrangement
13:40in this regard
13:41that white masks
13:42were put on the faces
13:43of the boys.
13:44Before the auction
13:45began, Abu Dawood
13:46made such a ruckus
13:47in the praise
13:48of those handsome
13:49boys that
13:50it reached
13:51the walls of Damascus.
13:53The auction began
13:54and first a boy
13:55was brought
13:56in front of him.
13:57When his mask was
13:58removed,
13:59there was a deep
14:00silence on the
14:01audience.
14:02Seeing this,
14:03Abu Dawood
14:04began to wash
14:05his head with pride.
14:06Someone from the
14:07audience
14:08called out
14:09for 100 dirhams.
14:10Then the process
14:11began.
14:12One by one,
14:13the boys
14:14kept coming in front
14:15and the audience
14:16kept making
14:17bids.
14:18When a bid
14:19stopped,
14:20he was made
14:21the owner of
14:22the auction.
14:23The auction
14:24ended
14:25in thousands.
14:26When two
14:27boys remained
14:28near the auction,
14:29Abu Dawood
14:30felt tired.
14:31He sat
14:32next to
14:33Bilaqa Khan
14:34in the audience.
14:35He pointed
14:36to his
14:37slave,
14:38who
14:39pushed
14:40the boy
14:41forward.
14:42At the second
14:43moment,
14:44his mask
14:45was removed.
14:46The boy
14:47looked
14:48different
14:49from the
14:50boys
14:51in the
14:52audience.
14:53The
14:54boy
14:55was
14:56innocent
14:57and
14:58smiled
14:59gently.
15:00When
15:01the audience
15:02saw
15:03his beauty,
15:04they
15:05got
15:06angry
15:07and
15:08began
15:09to
15:10make
15:11bids.
15:12On the
15:13other
15:14hand,
15:15Bilaqa
15:16Khan
15:17pointed
15:18to
15:19Abu
15:20Dawood
15:21in
15:22the
15:23audience.
15:24Abu
15:25Dawood
15:26smiled
15:27and
15:28raised
15:29his shoulders
15:30and
15:31said,
