A symbiotic relationship. One gets directions or a pair of eyes, one gets movement or a pair of legs. Nice.

This image was captured in 1889 by photographer Tancrède Dumas (1830-1905), who was born in Italy:

> The inspiring story of a Christian named Samir and a Muslim named Muhammad, who are said to have lived in Damascus in Ottoman Syria during the final years of the 19th century, is circulating on social media.

> According to accounts shared by dozens of websites and social media posts, and even some news sites such as the Egypt Independent, Samir was a Christian who suffered from paralysis, and Muhammad was a blind Muslim.

> Without the light of Samir's eyes, Muhammad had no way to get around the labyrinthine streets of ancient Damascus on his own, while the paralyzed Samir couldn’t get anywhere without Muhammad's feet.

> One depended on the other: Their extraordinary friendship literally completed them.

> The accounts about the paralyzed Christian and the blind Muslim add that the two were orphans, shared the same poor dwelling, and always lived together.

> When Samir died, Muhammad is said to have cried for seven days for having lost his other half. Eventually, he would die of grief over the death of his friend—which was also the death of his eyes.

> There are no sources that document the veracity of the names and personal history of these two men. However, the photograph depicting them is genuine.
