I remember dimly very happy days with my beloved father and mother, and my brother ‘Abbás, who was two years my senior . . .
We used to go to our house in the country sometimes; my brother ‘Abbás and I loved to play in the beautiful gardens, where grew many kinds of wonderful fruits and flowers and flowering trees; but this part of my early life is a very dim memory.
