Long ago, in the holy city of Mecca, a servant of a wealthy merchant went to the market to buy groceries. In the crowd, he saw Death glaring at him with a grin. Terrified, he forgot all about his shopping and rushed back home to seek help from his master. The kind-hearted master lent him a swift horse so that he could temporarily hide in Medina.
