T h e B l a c k S t o n e 60 Abu Taher: My mother, Furjah, has died! (Abul-Fadl Zakariyya takes a knife out of his pocket and bends over to cut Furjah open) Abul-Fadl Zakariyya: We cut her open and fill her guts with charcoal. As he says this, Furjah’s feet tremble. (Abul-Fadl Zakariyya sees her movement and gets suspicious. Abu Taher holds Abul-Fadl Zakariyya’s hand with the knife to stop him from cutting his mother open). Abu Taher: My Lord! Please, bring her back to life for me. Abul-Fadl Zakariyya: She is unworthy. She is a heretic. I will cut her open. Furjah’s feet tremble again of fear. Abul-Fadl looks at her. Abu Taher holds Abul-Fadl’s hand and says: Abu Taher: No, no. Please, my Lord. Bring her back to life.
