What 'Isa ibn Hisham Told Us. Muhammad al-Muwaylihi

وتنبسط حينًا وتنقبض وترضى ساعة ثم تمتعض فترسل من أفاعيلها الى كل واحد ما يناسبه ويلائمه وتعامله منها بما يوافقه ويوائمه فتتمكن من اختلابهم وتبرع في اجتلابهم وتأخذ بألبابهم وتمتلك رق رقابهم وأكبر آية عندهم على كمال انعطافها وميلها أن تصفع من يسعدها لحظ منهم بنعلها فيرى أنه الصفي المجدود والمحبوب الموعود

      ʿĪsā ibn Hishām said: We stayed where we were, observing the antics of this lecherous tart and the way she was tricking people. We were amazed that a woman like her could deceive men and hurl them into the abyss of sin and error. She had none of the trappings of beauty nor any redeeming features or qualities, but instead had been molded in a brazen form and kneaded from the sludge of all that was ugly and repulsive. She continued her rounds among the seated customers, meandering her way through the rows and going back and forth to the Proprietor; sometimes she would be lost to view, but then she would reappear. She kept freely mouthing obscenities and slander and reaching out to grab and steal. She often slapped and punched people with her outstretched hand, enflaming people’s minds with her deceitful wiles and using her hand to grab and swallow glassfuls. Her every move was aimed at profit and gain. As she made her way amid her devotees, she would sometimes scowl and frown, and at others break into a smile. One moment she would turn aside, at another she would come back yelling and then sag. One minute she would look happy, then frown; be content, then aggravated. Each man received the treatment that suited him best, and she dealt with them all in the appropriate fashion. She had managed to attract their attention and excelled at keeping them in her clutches; she could play with their minds and had them all enslaved. For them, the clearest sign of her affection and inclinations came when she would use her shoes to give someone who pleased her a cuff; with that he would assume that he had struck lucky and his dearest hopes would be granted.

      فاذا أجادت ما شاءت في صفعه ولكمه فداها بأبيه وأمه واذا أضافت الى الضرب بالنعال شق القباء ونتف السبال استبشر ببلوغ الآمال وقرب ساعة الوصال ونظر الى لفيف خلانه وأخدانه وفريق أنداده وأقرانه نظرة المختال المباهي والمعجب الزاهي والمساجل المفاخر والزاري الساخر لا بل الظافر في معمعان الطعان والضراب الفائز بالغنائم والأسلاب القافل من حومة المنايا بالأسارى والسبايا فتراه غريقًا في الابتهاج والاستئناس تنبسط يده في الكيس وتنبسط يدها في الكأس والغلام واقف على رأسها بالآنية يصب لها زجاجة في كل ثانية كأن حلقها قناة وكأن الساقي ساقية أو سانية
