was ruled "by a Ma.ssa.lman Goirernor appointed by the Portugaese
during their occupation. It happened that the Governor was a
Sunni Massulman and his Vazir was still more of a zealot in
the Sunni religion. In order to get the people of the
islands converted to his religion, he produced one day a
pomegranate on the skin of which the names of God, the prophet
and three first Khalifs of Islam appeared in relief by the
natural overgrowth of the pomegranate grains underneath and
maintained that this natural phenomenon was a proof of the
righteousness of the Sunni religion (as the Sunnis only recogniae
the first three Khalifs of Islam and the Shiahs refute their
authority and regard them as impostors, translator). hermit
called Muhammad ben Issa found out the sleight of hand of the
Tazir and proved to the Governor that the pomegranate when
young had been placed in an earthen mould on the inside of
which those names had been engraved and the natural growth
of the fruit was the cause of the apparent phenomenon.
The people of the islands were thereupon delivered from the
exactions of the Vazir.
