Hatim faced little resistance on his return journey, and as usual, was greatly welcomed in Shahabad. After mutual salutation with the people present in the court, Hatim showed them the pearl and narrated the details of his adventure. Husna Bano was delighted to see the pearl and everyone in the court started praising Hatim. Hatim Tai met his friend Munir and said to him, “We are very close to achieving your dream; now just one puzzle remains to be solved!” After resting for a few days, Hatim went to meet Husna Bano and said to her, “O Fair Lady, do let me know about your seventh puzzle. I do not want to lose any more time in completing the task I have undertaken.” “The seventh, and the last task is, to bring me an account of the Bath of Badgard,” she said. Hatim took her leave and started his journey of the seventh adventure.
