The first-person narrator and his friend Captain Frick Turnerstick clashed in the botanical garden of Marseille with Abd el Fadl, the executioner of the Beys of Tunis , who destroyed a cross in the presence of his interpreter.
- “[...] the part of the shaft stuck in the earth was rotten; it broke, and the strong and five cubits high crucifix fell so over to our side that it hit the captain in the head. "[...]
- “In one of them I immediately recognized the Armenian because of his hawk nose and other facial features . He wore a sheepskin hat, short jacket, baggy trousers and high boots; he had a knife in his belt. The other was, it seemed, a Bedouin . I estimated his age to be around fifty. The long, strong-boned figure was wrapped in a white burnous . On the head sat the red fez , around which a turban cloth of the same color was wrapped. The gaunt face was that of a rigid and blind Muslim Muslim . He was not at all frightened by our appearance, but looked at us almost scornfully with his dark, piercing eyes. "
Because he is punished for it, Abd el Fadl tries to kill the narrator, but is saved by him from drowning. In Tunis he then surprises the narrator while talking to his wife Kalada, who is a secret Christian. Abd el Fadl swears revenge, but during a trip he and his family are forced by a sandstorm to flee into the "Cave of Thunder", which is also invaded by a panther. The narrator succeeds in killing the panther and thus saving Abd el Fadl's son Asmar. The previously fanatical Muslim then converted to the Christian faith of his wife.

The story consists of two chapters:
- Abu djom.
- Abu el mawadda.
Kara Ben Nemsi and Haji Halef Omar meet the Nuer chief Abu Djom on the Nile, who is chasing a caravan of Baggara slavers with some warriors . They attacked his village and stole girls, women and boys. With the help of the false missionary Gibson, they are to be sold.
This plan is foiled, Gibson is shot, the slaves are set free, and the slave hunters are put to flight. Kara Ben Nemsi uses the code name "Selim Mefarek" against Gibson.
Others
In his novel Im Lande des Mahdi II , Chapter 5, Karl May explains what a "Ghasuah" is:
- “And how is such a ghasuah, such a slave hunt, arranged and carried out? Well, exactly in the same way as a burglar who enriches himself with the good of others and sooner or later falls for the penitentiary. Only the slave hunter is a little bit worse than the burglar, because he steals people, devastates and depopulates whole, large villages, and while he makes a hundred slaves, kills at least as many old people and children as are useless for themselves. "
The author erroneously reports that Kara Ben Nemsi and Hajji Halef Omar had recently fought together with Reïs Effendina Achmed Abd el Insaf in Sudan against the slave hunters Ibn Asls ( Mahdi trilogy ). But there was not Halef, but Ben Nil, Kara Ben Nemsi's companion.

We had been with the Haddedihn years ago, had left a good souvenir and knew that they would welcome us with great joy. "

Kara Ben Nemsi and Halef say goodbye to Sheikh Melef and the Schirwani, with whom they spent a few days. When they leave the village with their guide, a Djesid , they quickly discover that their host friends are trying to set a trap for them to rob them.
The three travelers are provided by Scheri Shir and thirty other Zibari; but when they find out that he is Kara Ben Nemsi, they abandon their hostile behavior and accept her in apparent hospitality. Once in the Zibari village, it becomes clear that the hospitality is not meant honestly.
Scheri Schir's daughter-in-law Schefaka, the wife of Hamsa Mertals, offers Kara and Halef her protection, which according to Kurdish custom must be observed. In the evening, Kara Ben Nemsi overhears her daughter saying the prayer "Christ's blood and righteousness" and starts talking to the young woman and her relatives.
When Kara Ben Nemsi deciphered her talisman inherited from her father ( the “ Aennchen von Tharau ”, arranged in D major for mixed solo quartet ) and performed it, the ice was finally broken.
Kara Ben Nemsi and his companions become the unreserved hospitality of the Zibari.
- “Lord, my son's wife calls you Effendi. Yes, you are an effendi, a great scholar and a brave warrior who knows neither fear nor faint-heartedness; you are worthy of being under the Sipah [sc. Champion] of the Zibari to be accepted. You spared the life of the Kurds, although they betrayed you and were then given into your hand. Wise thinkers, daring fighters, merciful victors and many beautiful, faithful women must live in your country. The songs of your people are gentle as the lisping leaf and mighty as the roaring lion. You should tell us about this country and this people. You shall be our mivan, our guest, and no one shall bend a hair on your head. We asked for your black horse and your weapons; but they should stay with you, and if you leave us, we will accompany you far over mountain and valley until you are safe. Sere men - by my head, I swear to you! "

On the way they meet a woman who is being chased by bloodhounds. In order to save the woman - Fatima Marryah - Kara Ben Nemsi shoots the beasts that Shir Seleki, the chief (sic!) Of Mir Mahmalli, set loose. The latter demands compensation and the protagonists' weapons and horses, but has to be content with not suffering any further losses apart from a few horses.
2nd chapter. Yussuf Ali.
Kara and Halef are first knocked down from behind by the tribe of women out of greed. As soon as they have freed themselves, Fatima Marryah appears and explains the prehistory, Kara, Halef and the Khawass are accepted as friends and guests and live with Yussuf Ali and his wife Fatima Marryah.
3rd chapter. Hussein Isa.
The couple has an absent son Hussein Isa and Kara shows the Christian-Islamic parallel in the names, in which Yussuf Ali sees more of a misfortune: he wanted to train his very eloquent son to become a famous scholar, but he switched to the great suffering of his father after studying the Koran he became the Patriarch of El Kosch and became a Christian.
When he himself comes to visit, there is an argument, which Kara wants to settle, where he is hit by his host and injured in the eye. While Kara is moving to the Sheik's house, the son is cast out and chased away by the father. Shortly afterwards he is captured by the Mir Mahmalli.

Back at Halef, Kara learns that the crucifixion was carried out by tying the arms and legs and that the parents were captured and tied to the cross tree below and that dogs are now circling the village outside.
The animals are stabbed to death, then on command Halef sets fire to the entanglement of felled trees and then helps to cut loose those who have been tied up, which is not particularly easy with the son. Kara covers the retreat.
The conversion of the parents too is the result of salvation in the name of Jesus .
The title Mater dolorosa refers to the fact that the mother turned to the " Sorrowful Mother of God " after she had previously worshiped Fatima, the mother of Hassan and Hussein, because of her suffering for their sons.

content
The first-person narrator is asked by his host Said Kaled Pascha in Engyrijeh to deliver a large sum of money to a friend, Osman Bei, whose pension is outstanding. The two Arnauts who are supposed to accompany him are not well-disposed to him, leave him without saying goodbye in Jachscha Khan and he fears an attack. In Jachscha Khan, on the other hand, he is joined by a young civil servant, a Kysrakdar (= stud master). Since they are on their way during the pilgrimage, the first-person narrator, as a Christian, is in constant danger; but also his companion, who is called Es Sabbi - the cursed one, is threatened. During the conversation, the narrator learns that the young man is converting to the Catholic faith and is the son of Osman Bei.
In Boghaslajan they meet the Arnauts again, who clearly have no good intentions. The travelers manage to ride around an ambush.
The hermit Abdal Osman Bei lives with his wife not far from Urumjili. His joy at the pension is great, but so is his anger at the apostate son. At the last second, the first-person narrator can prevent a murder.
Together they now travel to Kaisarijeh , where they are warmly received by the French consul and his family. (The young Kysrakdar is engaged to the daughter of the house.)
Shortly after their arrival, they learn that Osman Bei has been ambushed and robbed. He has filed charges against the narrator and his son and the two are arrested.
The cadre is quickly convinced, however, that the first-person narrator and his companion are innocent. Nevertheless, the angry pilgrims cannot be tamed. The two companions flee to a chapel on the Arjisch Mountain and are followed by an angry mob.
Several of their pursuers are cruelly killed in a rock fall. Among the dead are the two Arnauts who still have the stolen money with them. Osman Bei was also shattered as if by a divine judgment .
The route leads from Engyrijeh via Jachscha Khan and Balchyk to Paschaköi, then via Boghaslajan and Urumdschili (with a ferry across the Kizil Irmak) to Kaisarijeh.
