|a This section contains three versions of the Hadithi ya Yusuf, written and scribed by Muhammad Kujumwa in c. 1913AD-1332AH [the last version, MS 354, was scribed by Ahmed bin Abdalla bin Mohammed]. Kijumwa scribing skill is at its best here, which makes the reading very easy and pleasant. Also, Kijumwa being the author of the story expands with his creative imagination the purely religious content of the story that we find in the Qur’an and the Bible. Kijumwa additions reflect aspects of Swahili culture that are not contained in the original. Kujumwa also, as noted by Abd Egl in hi PhD study of Kijumwa work, adds at stanza 161 the invocation’ O, Listener for the ones crying for help. O, Helper for the ones appealing for aid. O, The One who relieves the grief of the grieved ones. This invocation is to be found in an original source for this story, which suggests that Kijumwa took that source as the basis for his translation into Swahili. AnOther version of the same hadithi (also referred as Kisa) is to be found in Hichens MS 228624. Hichens version was given to him by Alice Werner who received it from Kijumwa, in 1937, in Lamu. The three versions contained here were given to Allen by Bi. Zaharia of Lamu in1938. The first poem has 755 stanzas and 55 Aya of the Qur’an, whereas the second one has 791 stanzas and 57 Aya, like the last one. |
