520 3    |a This MS contains first a historical religious Utendi set at the time of the rise of Islam when the Prophet Mohammed faced oppposition in Mecca from the non-Muslims. The main opponent to Islam was Abu Jahal who is one of the character of this Utendi. The story begins with a messenger sent to the Prophet by King Abib bin Malik to bring information that will help the Prophet against his opponents. This is a common genre of Swahili religious poetry that narrates of the advent of Islam in Mecca. The MS ends with fragment of the Utendi wa wajiwaji.
