Overview
Kurush the king; when Jesus the Messiah was born, he sent three men — to one a bag of frankincense, to another a bag of myrrh, to a third a bag of gold — dispatching them to be guided by a star he described, and they travelled until they reached the Messiah and his mother Mary in the land of Syria, the star moving when they moved and halting when they halted — a transmitted report per the Muruj.
