Hanthala Al-Sayyar is hit with an arrow by bandits in the desert and is rescued by Sheikh Hani', who is unaware of his pedigree. Meanwhile the Minister Sinan continues trying to persuade King Al Nu'man not to trust the Persian King, Khosrow Aparvez.

Zayd's desire to take revenge from King Al Nu'man prompts him to incite King Aparvez to take the daughters of Al Nu'man as wives, knowing that Al Nu'man would never accept that . Shayban Al Shaybani discovers the true identity of Hanthala Bin Sayyar.

King Aparvez agrees with Zayd's counsel to send a letter to Al-Nu'man requesting that he send his daughters to him. Shayban is surprised that Hanthala didn't kill him in the duel after winning.

King Aparvez plans to dethrone Al-Nu'man as king of al-Hirah for fear that he would no longer obey him after having rallied Arab Tribes to his side. Meanwhile, Minister Sinan postpones his marriage to princess Hind despite King Al-Nu'man's blessings.

Zayd arrives to the kingdom of al-Hirah accompanied by the Persian vizier Shabor to deliver King Aparvez's message to King Al-Nu'man ordering him to send him his daughters. Al-Nu'man welcomes them warmly unaware of the intention of their visit.

King Al-Nu'man is shocked and angered by the letter from Aparvez prompting him to send his daughters to Persia to become Aparvez's wives and concubines. Consequently, Al-Nu'man refuses the order.
