The situation was greater than her imagination and comprehension, so she held her tongue, shook hands with him, may God have mercy on him, and kept holding his hand without uttering a word, and with his humanity and compassion he realized what was in him, so he began to relieve her, smile at her, and ask her about her conditions and her family, but she remained silent without a word, so he asked her About her need, she said that she spent 16 years in the Emirates, and only wanted his safety, he asked her if she needed money, and she said we are a well-to-do family and my husband works in an oil company, and I only dreamed of shaking hands with you, because you are the only Arab leader that people can approach And they shake hands with him, and I did not dream of that in my country.

She said impulsively, now my problem has begun, so he smiled, may God have mercy on him, saying before he gets to know her problem, we will solve it for you, God willing, and he asked her what is your problem?

She said: My family, relatives, and friends will not believe that I shook hands with Sheikh Zayed, so he laughed, may God have mercy on him, and said to her: We will make them believe.
