A woman is kidnapped during a raid, and her husband is killed, whereupon she ends up in the house of Zalim ibn Sariq, whose wife is about to give birth, and they call the slave girl Rabab. The wife gives birth to her son, al-Muhallab.
Zalim tries to force Rabab to have sex with him and tries to learn what is written in the papers in the ancient Greek language. The wife of Zalim decides to call Rabab to Islam. King Laqit decides to refrain from paying zakat.
Rabab is sad because she could not catch up with her son in the crowded market. King Laqit decides to mobilize a large army to resist his opponents and defend Dibba against Abu Bakr's forces. Rabab marries Maimon, and one of Laqit's men decides to include Rabab in his harem.
An angry Zalim goes to Laqit and asks him to give him Rabab, who begins deciphering the Greek manuscript.
Rabab tells Zalim that she loves him, but he makes her choose between staying as Maimon's wife or leaving the house. Maimon divorces her, and she is kicked out of the house then brought back. The army of Medina besieges the entire city of Dibba.
All the men and women of Dibba are led captives to Medina, and Zalim searches for al-Muhallab in the desert. Abu Bakr al-Siddiq pardons the inhabitants of Dibba. Zalim decides to go with his family to Basra and asks Rabab to marry Ja'una.
Ja'una decides to discipline Rabab and sells her in the slave market, and Maimon buys her and objects to Rabab's way of raising their daughter.
As al-Muhallab works with his father, Zalim, in his trade, he spends a day working in the shop and a day learning how to fight. Ja'una decides to leave the slave trade and work in translation.
Maimona, the daughter of Rabab, refuses to marry Qatari without giving reasons and confesses that she loves al-Muhallab. Maimon decides to wed her to al-Muhallab, but he tells them that he loves another girl.
Al-Muhallab returns safely from the war and is still thinking about Maimon's offer to marry Maimona. Al-Muhallab marries Khayra, and after Maimona storms their room, he finally agrees to marry Maimona on the condition that they do not sleep on the same bed.

Al-Muhallab is sad because of the killing of a merchant at the hands of one of the Kharijites, with whom Qatari still keeps his promise. Yazid ibn Mu'awiya dies.
Al-Muhallab contacts Maimona again and tells her about his wish to marry her, but she refuses because it is too late. Zalim thinks of traveling to Africa in search of Rabab. Qatari tries to subdue the people of the regions he invades with his group. Qatari and his men prepare to raid Basra.
Al-Muhallab finds that it is inevitable to confront the Kharijites who are coming to Basra. The Kharijites burn homes in Basra and raid its people.
As the men of Basra think about appointing a governor so that they can confront the Kharijites, some of them think about al-Muhallab, even though he is not from the city. Al-Muhallab tries to collect money to compensate for the losses his business incurred at the hands of the Kharijites.

As the Kharijites decide to raid the tents and horses of al-Muhallab's army, the two armies meet in a fierce battle, and al-Muhallab succeeds in defeating the Kharijites.
Al-Muhallab continues his new round of war against the Kharijites outside the borders, but the Kharijites kidnap a number of captives from his army, and Yazid falls into their captivity.
Al-Muhallab returns to the homeland. As a new Persian slave girl joins al-Muhallab's family, everyone is shocked as they learn that she is pregnant, and ibn al-Zubayr makes his son the governor of Basra.
Mus'ab ibn al-Zubayr is killed on the battlefield. Al-Muhallab is in a big dilemma regarding his war against the Kharijites and decides to pledge allegiance to Abd al-Malik in order to avoid the evil of fighting and let him fight the Kharijites.
The Kharijites sweep away everything that stands in their way, while the people of Mecca are angry at the murder of ibn al-Zubayr. Qatari feels lost and purposeless.
Rabab dies in her sleep, and everyone grieves for her. Al-Muhallab's son tells his father that Maimona died of a fever, and Qatari becomes a prince.
