Three orphaned brothers were raised by a caliph and became engineers, mathematicians and patrons of knowledge in Baghdad. The nineteenth book of Tracing the Scholars of Islam tells the story of the Banu Musa: authors of Kitab al-Hiyal with about a hundred mechanical devices, including automatic valves and a flute that plays itself — and lessons on cooperation and the danger of envy. “… assist me with strength …”
He said, “That in which my Lord has established me is better [than what you offer], but assist me with strength; I will make between you and them a dam.”
