Alkanpari had great regard for Hatim Tai, so when he insisted to leave mountain Alka in pursuit of his mission, she agreed. Since Hatim had to go to mountain Himyar, she requested him to let her fairies escort him safely. Hatim sat on a magical chair and the fairies carried him in such speed that in no time they were on top of mountain Himyar! Here, he distinctly heard the voice of a man repeating, “Injure no one, because if you do so, evil things will happen to you!” Hatim thanked the fairies and walked towards the voice. There, he saw an old man sitting inside a cage that hung from the branch of a tree. Hatim stood silent for some time, looking at the man and his cage. And then the man broke his trance by saying, “Injure no one, because if you do so, evil things will happen to you!” Hatim had found the man he was looking for.
