The opening of the volume introduces the lavish life of a wealthy merchant from Damascus, Aboulhusn, and the joy that unfolds when he is finally blessed with a son, Noureddin Ali, who grows into an exceptionally handsome young man. Driven by a yearning for adventure, Noureddin persuades his father to allow him to travel to Baghdad, where his journey brings him not only the pleasures of discovery but also a romantic entanglement with Sitt El Milah, a slave-girl famed for her beauty.
