|a This section of MS 53497 contains the religious legend of ‘The Camel and the Gazelle’ in the Utenzi form of 414 stanzas; each stanza is of four lines, with 1 kipande per line. The first 69 stanzas are translated in English, probably by Hichens. According to M. Abou Egl (unpubl. 1983), Muhammad Kijumwa had written and transcribed this poem for Alice Werner, who subsequently gave it to W. Hichens. The poem is handwritten with many corrections on the text as well as on the sides. With the corrections, it reads smoothly. Kiamu is the language used. The first 59 stanzas contain a praise in honour of the Prophet Mohammed. At stanza 60 the story of the Ngamia na Paa begins. According to the poem, stanza 62, the story was originally narrated by a man from Mecca, called Jaafari. In brief, the content of the poem narrates the encounter between a camel and the Prophet. The camel has come to the Mosque where the Prophet was praying to ask for help, because of mistreatment by his owner, Abi Masudi, a non-believer, who is exploiting the camel (stanza 108). The Prophet sets out to help the camel. Eventually, Abi Masudi, the owner of the camel, converts to Islam. The story is set at the time of the death of the Prophet, as noted in stanzas 387-388. An interesting structural aspect of this utenzi is that the content of each stanza is explained in a more elaborate way in the following stanza; in Other words, each event is explained in two successive stanzas. In some instances, passages from the Koran occur in roman script. |
