"Hercules and the Arabian Night" is a crossover episode of Disney's Hercules: The Animated Series featuring characters from Aladdin, specifically in the characters from animated series, Jafar, Aladdin, Princess Jasmine and Abu of the Aladdin made-for-TV animated series. It aired on February 10, 1999 and is a sequel to Aladdin and the King of Thieves.
As Hades goes through his usual job of bringing fresh souls in, Pain and Panic tell him that one of the souls is not cooperating. The dead Jafar approaches Hades, introduces himself and demands to be sent back. Hades is at first unconcerned, but they find a common ground: Jafar tried to overtake Agrabah, Hades is trying to overtake Mount Olympus and they both have been defeated by "upstart boys", but each villain thinks his nemesis is superior. They make a bet that they can defeat each other's respective hero. So Hades gives Jafar a new snake staff, which turns him into a mortal. He tells Jafar that so long as he holds the snake staff, he is all flesh and blood. Then, he orders Jafar to attack Hercules while he's training on Philoctetes's island.
