Notes

Abstract:
This manuscript contains a hadithi that narrates of the relationship between father and son, at the time of the father’s death. The father has many expectations regarding what his son could do for the community after he is gone. However, the son does not want to comply with his father expectations, and this is seen as negative social conduct. In this typescript copy, of which we do not know the origins, there are few grammar mistakes and the use of both northern and southern dialects, although with the prevalence of Kimvita. ( en )
