Abstract:
This section of MS 193290 contains a hadithi, story, about a man who had two sons, one from his first wife and one from his slave wife (concubine). The son from the slave wife is more intelligent than the Other son and for this reason is given business responsibilities by the father. This causes anger and distress to the first wife who complains about the mistreat o f her son. Then, the husband set a plot to test the boys’ intelligence. This part is very humorous, and at the end it appears that the son of the slave wife is able to understand the plot while the Other son is not. ( en )
