Once the younger princess saw him without a hat and she wanted to marry. All seven princesses married, and the youngest married Ali. At first, when she threw him the ball, he refused and said he didn't want it, and only took the ball the second time. The king got angry and drove his daughter and Ali out of the palace. Once the king fell ill, and a doctor advised him to milk a lioness in the skin of a gazelle from a land of horrors and ghouls. He sent six of his sons-in-law to get the medicine. Ali heard about this, summoned Adham, changed himself and appeared to his sons-in-law. He gave them medicine and in return demanded that they cut off their earlobes. The sons-in-law came to the king with medicine, and when they left, Ali appeared and told the king how things really happened. Then the king expelled all six sons-in-law and wives, took back his youngest daughter with Ali and appointed him heir to the throne]: Al-Aribi 2009, No. 30 in Korovkina MS
