The Sultan's guards accidentally interrupted a group of sorcerers practicing dark magic and it brought the user from the future. The guards bring the user to the Sultan and Jafar and tell them what happened. Unless the user can speak Arabic, only Jafar and Iago can understand them because of their travels. The Sultan feels so guilty about what happened he leaves the user in Jafar's care until they can figure out how to send them back. (I tried!)
