Fourth cover

Saladin was petrified; It was then that he had a flash which suddenly woke him from his torpor. This cell, the name “sheikh” pronounced by the guard, these sounds of whips, this stoic attitude of the inmate, this way of addressing God, but yes, how could you not have thought of it sooner!

Saladin, saved once again by his knowledge of history, of his history, had some shivers. Was it possible? This man so worthy in pain and in ordeal could only be the same one who, in the 9th century, opposed the son of Hâroun al Rashîd, al Ma'moun after the latter had decreed the mu'tazilism doctrine official of the Abbasid power. It could only be this man after whom one of the four most famous schools of Sunnism bears his name: Ahmed Ibn Hanbal!

Saladin managed to locate himself more precisely. What worried him most was that between the time of al Mansour, where he found himself around the year 767, and that of the imprisonment of Ibn Hanbal, which occurred in 833, he had made a leap of less than a century. Needless to say, he was far from the goal.
