Note 399 — ABU AL-HUSN AND HIS SLAVE-GIRL TAWADDUD.[281]
Richard Francis Burton translation
The liver and spleen are held to be congealed blood. Hence the couplet:—
We are allowed two carrions (i.e. with throats uncut) and two bloods,
The fish and the locust, the liver and the spleen.
(Pilgrimage iii. 92.)
