Kadi

Each has an imaum, but the kadi is their head, of which dignity he seems not a little proud.

"You shall go to Mecca when you grow up, and become a Hadji, and when you come back the high kadi shall take you in the mosque and make a kateeb of you," said I. "Now put your forehead to the ground and thank the good Allah that the kuching had eaten dog before he got you."

To this the Jew agreed, and the two went together to the great hall, in which the kadi was administering justice.
