This manuscript is a play in four acts that follows the life of a Yemeni Princess named Wajdah. Wajdah is the heroine of the play and a 17th century princess who converts to Islam, which leads to challenges in reconciling faith and reason. There is more conflict in her life when her infant son disappears. This drama is described as one that may be a first in the portrayal of a defiant Arab woman to the English reader. Posthumously published in 2001 as "Wajdah."

مسرحية كتبها الريحاني عن الفوارق الاجتماعية والطبقية التي لا تزال موجودة في احد سجون السلطان عبد الحميد حتى بعد قيام الثورة.
A play written by Rihani that discusses existing social differences among prisoners in one of Abdulhamid's prisons even following the revolution.
Note from translator L.S.: I think this work is part of Sejil al-Tawba. Sejil al-Tawba includes a story "the Prison of Abdulhamid" that highlights the still-exists social differences among prisoners in a prison, even after the revolution. While thiswork is called "Abdulhamid" only, but it is also about prisoners in a prison after the revolution
the book criticise the social differences inside the prison.
