Here is the Translation:
INTRODUCING THE TELEPHONE IN ARABIA
When Ibn-Saud, the liberator of Arabia, wanted to introduce the telephone into some of the larger Arab cities, many of his emirs were firmly opposed to it. They claimed that the telephone was the devil's work, and that they, as devout Muslims, wanted nothing that came from the devil. But Ibn-Saud was a very wise and prudent ruler. He knew that little could be achieved by force, so one day he said to the emirs:
"We shall conduct an experiment and install a single telephone. At one end of the line an Imam will read the holy words from the Quran, and we shall listen at the other end. If the telephone is truly the work of the devil, it will not allow the holy words to be carried through its device. But if it is not — that is, if the telephone is the work of God — we shall hear the holy words that the Imam reads at the other end."
When the first telephone was set up, Ibn-Saud summoned the Imams and the emirs. He opened the telephone line, and everyone could hear the holy words of the Quran, which one Imam was reading on another telephone at the other end of the city.
Then everyone agreed that the telephone was not the work of the devil, but rather they declared it to be the work of God.
