  • The Koran (Al-Qur'an) CHAPTER I. / IN THE NAME OF THE MOST MERCIFUL GOD / CHAPTER II. / IN THE NAME OF THE MOST MERCIFUL GOD.; lines 9415-9483 confidence: high

    Hart and Mart at Babel warn learners that they are a temptation; men learn a charm to divide husband and wife, though harm occurs only by God's permission; the art harms the learner and costs a share in the life to come.

    Men learn from Hart and Mart a charm by which they may cause division between a man and his wife.
