Will give Magomet to everyone on seventy beautiful wives, and will select one of them beautiful, and will assign to it beauty of all; and she will be his wife. Here, speaks, it is necessary to indulge in any fornication. If someone is poor in this world, and on that", and other any lie told, and ashamed to write.
