grains." Ka'b said, "Mortgage your women to me." Muhammad bin Maslama said, "How can we mortgage our women, and you are
the most handsome among the Arabs?" He said, "Then mortgage your sons to me." Muhammad said, "How can we mortgage our sons,
as the people will abuse them for being mortgaged for one or two Wasqs of food grains? It is shameful for us. But we will mortgage
our arms to you." So, Muhammad b in Maslama promised him that he would come to him next time. They (Muhammad bin Maslama
