1. THE WAY LIFE SHOULD BE LIVED
Historically speaking, the Ethiopians conquered Yemen and ruled it for seventy-two years, during which four kings ruled; Iryat, Abraha, Yaksum, and Masrooq. When Ethiopian rulers exercised severe oppression on the Yemeni people, Saif Ibn Dhi-Yazan, who was called Abu Murah, left Yemen towards Caesar, the King of the Romans, in quest of military support to put an end to both the Ethiopian reign and the Yemeni oppression. Although Caesar could appoint any of the Romans to rule Yemen under the sovereignty of the Roman State, Caesar was neither responsive to Saif nor interested in subjecting the Yemeni region. .
Then, Saif continued his travel to the destination of Al-Hirah, which was ruled by Al-No'man Ibn Al-Munthir. Al-No ˜man was appointed by Khosrau, King of Persia, to rule Al-Hirah and the appended land of Iraq. Arriving there, Saif explained to him the plight and suffering of the Yemeni nation under the grim tyrannical rule of the Ethiopians. Al-Munthir told him that he used to visit King Khosrau once a year, and the former invited Saif to stay with him till they both traveled to see Khosrau. Al-Munthir fulfilled his promise, and took Saif to Khosrau. After having taken permission from Khosrau, Saif Ibn Dhi-Yazan complained to the former of the Ethiopians' oppression and ill-treatment of his people. Saif suggested that King Khosrau support the Yemenis militarily to drive the Ethiopians out of Yemen; and then Khosrau could appoint any of his regents to rule Yemen. .
Unfortunately, Khosrau neither sympathized with his guest's complaint, nor responded to Saif's offer, since Yemen is far away from his homeland, and that there was nothing in it, but sheep and camels. That was because he did not want to involve his people and army in the land of the Arabs. He gave instructions to give Saif the sum of ten thousands Dinars, and a whole set of noble clothes. The reaction of Saif, to what he thought as humiliation, was unexpected.
