An order was issued in the court of Genghis Khan for the execution of three people, so a woman reached the court weeping and screaming. Among them, one was the woman's husband, the second was her son, and the third was her brother. Genghis Khan said to the woman, "You choose one of them, and I will pardon his punishment." The woman replied, "A husband can be found again, and I can give birth to another son too, but there can be no replacement for a brother." (Therefore, I choose the brother). Genghis Khan liked this choice, so he pardoned the punishment of all three. (Al-Bidayah wan-Nihayah by Ibn Kathir, Al-Turki edition, Dar Hijr 17 / 166)
