Sidi El-Marouf answered him, "Bring the woman here."

"Did he really kill your husband?" asked Sidi Abd-el-Tadu.

"He killed him," she replied.

There was a bird on a tree nearby. Sidi Abd-el-Tadu asked the bird. The

bird answered:

"It was the woman who killed her husband. Feel in her hair and you will

find the knife she used."

They searched her hair and found the knife still covered with blood, which

gave evidence of the crime. The truth was known and innocence was defended.

God avenged the injustice.
