[3] According to The Jewish Encyclopedia, Hachuel "was a martyr to her faith, preferring death to become the bride of the sultan";[2] She is considered a tzadeket (Righteous Woman) by some Jews.

[6] Hachuel's story was also the subject of a song by French musician Françoise Atlan on the record Romances Séfardies (lit.

Some scholars say that Dejodencq was inspired by the story of Sol Hachuel;[7] however, his friend and biographer, the French philosopher Gabriel Séailles, states explicitly in more than one book that Dehodencq was an eye-witness to the execution he depicted.

[10] Several accounts of the story exist, namely in Jewish and Muslim sources, though they all agree that Hachuel was tragically executed in a public place, for refusing to convert to Islam.

[11] According to the account of Israel Joseph Benjamin, a Romanian Jewish explorer who visited Morocco in the middle of the 19th century, "never had the sun of Africa shone on more perfect beauty [than Hachuel]".

Rabbi Jacob Tolédano wrote in "Lumière d’Occident" that Lalla Solica had converted to Islam to get close to Sultan Moulay Abderrahmane of Morocco, as "she was part of his harem from 1817 to 1820".

I will have you torn (apart) piece-meal by wild beasts, you shall not see the light of day, you shall perish of hunger, and experience the rigor of my vengeance and indignation, in having provoked the anger of the Prophet.

[10]The girl responded: I will patiently bear the weight of your chains; I will give my limbs to be torn [apart] piece-meal by wild beasts; I will renounce forever the light of day: I will perish of hunger: and when all the evils of life are accumulated on me by your orders, I will smile at your indignation and the anger of your Prophet: since neither he nor you have been able to overcome a weak female!

[18] Romero described the emotions of the citizens of Fez on the day of the execution: The Moors, whose religious fanaticism is indescribable, prepared, with their accustomed joy, to witness the horrid scene.

]Apparently, the sultan instructed the executioner to wound Sol first, hoping that the sight of her own blood would frighten her into accepting conversion.

[19][20][2] Léon Godard explains the custom in his Description et histoire du Maroc: Despite their intolerance, Moroccans, however contradictory this may appear, do in some cases honour the holy people of other religions, or beg the aid of their prayers from those whom they call infidels.

In Fez, they render a kind of worship to the memory of the young Sol Hachuel, a Jew of Tangier, who died in our time of terrible torture rather than renounce the Law of Moses, or alternatively renew an abjuration previously made, by yielding to the seductions of love.
