|a This section of Manuscript MS 193290 contains a long hadithi that Hichens may have acquired from Rev. Taylor as Taylor’s name appear at the top left corner of the 1st page. This suggests that the story was originally written in Arabic script and transliterated. There are also 3 pages of English translation, possibly done by Hichens himself. Some errors appear in this copy that may have occurred during the transliteration, or during typing. The story is about the friendship of two men, Sahili and Sadiki, and their journey to find a jewel for Salihi’s wife. With this plot as background, the story is enriched with images of coastal daily life among a muslim community, as well as providing advices on how to achieve, or fulfil, an aim, in this case the search for the jewel, with good intentions. The concept of ‘good intention’, niya in Kiswahili, is very important in Swahili culture. This story is an example of ngano, a literary genre generally used for children story, and part of oral literature. |
