	Sometime around 850, an epic showdown took place on the estate of one of the [[Abbasid Caliphate\|empire]]'s elite. The two most prominent {{Wiki\|Qiyan\|qayna}} ("singing girls") of the time, [[Arib Al-Ma'muniyya\|Arib al-Ma'muniyya]] (797-890) and {{Wiki\|Shāriyah\|Shariyah}} (815-870), were invited to a musical contest held to determine which one was the best. Both women had been born into [[slavery]], to aristocratic fathers and mothers who were themselves qayna. Through their skills, they had obtained wealth, influence and even their freedom. By the 840s they had become teachers, training other enslaved women who then performed their popular compositions all around [[Baghdad]]. Their duel was therefore a much-anticipated event even beyond courtly society.		Sometime around 850, an epic showdown took place on the estate of one of the [[Abbasid Caliphate\|empire]]'s elite.
