During the third crusade war against Muslims, King of England, Richard (The Lionheart) put on all efforts to keep Jerusalem to remain under his grip. The Muslims were led by one of the finest generals of the world’s history named Shalahuddin Al Ayyubi (Saladin), who was really eager to set Jerusalem free from the grip of crusaders. Saladin was one of the finest generals in the world’s history.

This war took a very long time, and in the midst of the period, after so many tough battles against Muslims, Richard The Lionheart fell sick. To cure his sickness, so many physicians tried their best. However, no one had ever succeeded to help Richard recover from his sickness until one day, one physician who was unfamiliar to everyone came to try to help cure him. For a few days, Richard was under the care of this unfamiliar strange physician.

Not so long after the period of treatment, Richard gradually recovered and was ready to continue fighting. Richard felt blessed and grateful to the physician and offered him some retains as the price of his treatment. Surprisingly, the physician refused it.

Richard was astonished by that fact and curious about the strange physician. He began to investigate him about his identity. The physician finally uncovered his disguise and confessed who he actually was.

“My name is Shalahuddin, your great enemy in this crusade war. I heard you suffered illness then I came to help you as my humanity task. I am so glad to see you recovered from your sickness. I look forward to you in the battle field and we are ready to fight each other again,” Saladin ended the conversation.
