Do you know what happened between me and the Commander of the Faithful, Harun al-Rashid?
أَمِيرِ — Commander. This title noun heads an ownership pair with the word after it, in the 'of' (genitive) form because the preceding 'between' governs it, and it also leads its own possessive chain. As pair-leader it drops its 'the'. It reads as 'Commander of ...'.
