When no remedy had been left untried, the parents of Majnun resolved to seek the refuge of the Ka'ba as their last resort. They took Majnun on the pilgrimage to Ka'bat-ullah. When they drew near to the Ka'ba a great crowd gathered to see them. The parents, each in turn, went and prayed to God, saying, "O Lord, Thou art most merciful and compassionate, grant Thy favor to our only son, that the heart of Majnun may be released from the pain of the love of Leila. Everybody there listened to this intently, and wonderingly awaited what Majnun had to say.
