Let him who has sinned say, "I beg Allah for forgiveness!" AUDIENCE: May God grant us remission from our sins! Once there was a king who had an only son and no other. His name was Nayyis, Little Sleepy One, and his father loved him very much and indulged him. One day the daughter of the king of the jinn fell in love with him and stole him away from his father. There was no place left in the world where the king did not ask about his son, but he could not find him. In that country there were three girls who were spinners. They used to spin their wool, sell it, and eat from what they earned. When they grew sleepy while spinning at night, they would sing: "O Nayyis Go away from here! To us you're no cousin Or a brother dear. Go to the princess instead She will clothe and indulge you And keep you well fed." Now, there were scouts in the town searching for the son of the king, and they heard the song of the spinners.
