Explanation:
Neil Philip retold the story of "The Keys of Destiny" from <em>The Arabian Nights</em>. The plot revolves around the new king Sultan Muhammad Ibn Thailun and his wisdom in ruling the kingdom of Egypt.
In the given story, Sultan Muhammad had just found out about the captive Sheikh Hasan Abdallah who his father had kept in a dungeon for refusing to read the manuscript. When the Sultan recovered the Sheikh, he apologized for what his father had done and returned the manuscript to the old Sheikh. This led to the Sheikh proclaiming <em>"Allah is wise, who makes the poison and the antidote to flower in the same field".</em> By this line, what the Sheikh meant was that the former Sultan may have been cruel, but the current Sultan's kindness undid the wrongs his father had done to him.
