"ABUNAWAS AND HIS MAGIC

BOTTLE"
Once upon a time in Persia, lived a clever man named Abunawas. The king always
called him to the castle because he wanted to trap Abunawas with his curious
questions. One day, he called Abunawas to his palace. When Abunawas arrived,
the king smiled and told about his problem.
“I always get a stomachache lately; my medical man said that I have got a wind
attack” said the King.
“My pardon Majesty, what should I do for helping you??? Said Abunawas
“I would like you to catch the wind and bring it to in prison” reply the King
Abunawas was quiet because didn’t talk any words. He didn’t think the way how
to catch the wind but he was thinking how to prove that he really caught the
wind. Wind can’t be seen, it was different with water because we can see water
even didn’t have color. The King gave Abunawas only three days to do it. Soon
Abunawas returned to his home and though what he must to do. Actually he was
a clever man, so that he wasn’t sad just because this problem. Thinking was a
part of his life moreover he though that it was his need. He though that
thinking will give a way to solve his problem. Meanwhile he was sure that he can
help another people, especially poor people by thinking. And because his
cleverness, he got much money from the King.

Two days passed and Abunawas still didn’t fine any way how to catch the wind
and bring it in prison. The next day was the deadline for him and he was restless
because he didn’t find a solution. He couldn’t sleep well because this problem.
Then the day came and he was surrender if the King gave him a punishment.
Because he still didn’t fine any way for it. He walked to the palace and suddenly
on the way he remembers something. They are Aladin and his magic lamp.
“I think an elf can’t be seen?” he asked himself
Suddenly he got an idea; he jumped up and returned to his home happily. At
home he soon prepared anything to bring to the palace. When he arrived in front
of the palace gate, the guards let him enter because the King had been waiting
for him.

“Were you success to catch and bring the wind to in prison, Abunawas?” asked
the King curiously.
“Yes majesty, I have done your command” reply Abunawas while giving a bottle
to the King.

The King received that bottle and said “Where the wind that you have caught
Abunawas?”
“It is inside the bottle, majesty” said Abunawas.
“But I don’t see anything inside” reply the King
“Pardon me majesty, basically we can’t see the wind but if you really want know
it, you must open the bottle tub” explained Abunawas
When the bottle had opened, the King found a bad smelt from it. It was
Abunawas’s flatus.
“What a bad smell! What is it Abunawas?” said the King angrily
“Pardon me majesty, I have flatus and sent it to the bottle. I was afraid if the
wind went out so that I had prison it into the bottle” said Abunawas frightened.
Finally the King didn’t angry to him because his reason was believable. And then
the King gave him much money and gold for his cleverness.

The End
ABUNAWAS DAN BOTOL SIHIRNYA

Suatu ketika di Persia, hiduplah seorang lelaki pintar bernama Abunawas. Raja selalu
memanggilnya ke kastil karena dia ingin menjebak Abunawas dengan pertanyaan-pertanyaan
anehnya. Suatu hari, dia memanggil Abunawas ke istananya. Ketika Abunawas tiba, raja
tersenyum dan menceritakan masalahnya.

“Aku selalu sakit perut akhir-akhir ini; dokter saya mengatakan bahwa saya terkena serangan
angin, ”kata Raja.

"Maaf, Yang Mulia, apa yang harus saya lakukan untuk membantu Anda ??? Kata Abunawas

"Aku ingin kamu menangkap angin dan membawanya ke penjara," jawab Raja

Abunawas diam karena tidak berbicara sepatah kata pun. Dia tidak berpikir bagaimana
caranya menangkap angin, tetapi dia berpikir bagaimana membuktikan bahwa dia benar-
benar menangkap angin. Angin tidak bisa dilihat, itu berbeda dengan air karena kita bisa
melihat air bahkan tidak berwarna. Raja memberi Abunawas hanya tiga hari untuk
melakukannya. Segera Abunawas kembali ke rumahnya dan memikirkan apa yang harus dia
lakukan. Sebenarnya dia adalah orang yang pintar, sehingga dia tidak sedih hanya karena
masalah ini. Berpikir adalah bagian dari hidupnya, terlebih lagi dia berpikir bahwa itu adalah
kebutuhannya. Ia berpikir bahwa pemikiran itu akan memberi jalan untuk menyelesaikan
masalahnya. Sementara itu dia yakin bisa membantu orang lain, terutama orang miskin
dengan berpikir. Dan karena kepintarannya, ia mendapat banyak uang dari Raja.

Dua hari berlalu dan Abunawas masih tidak bisa bagaimana menangkap angin dan
membawanya ke penjara. Hari berikutnya adalah batas waktu baginya dan dia gelisah karena
dia tidak menemukan solusi. Dia tidak bisa tidur nyenyak karena masalah ini. Kemudian hari
itu tiba dan dia menyerah jika Raja memberinya hukuman. Karena dia masih tidak baik-baik
saja untuk itu. Dia berjalan ke istana dan tiba-tiba dalam perjalanan dia mengingat sesuatu.
Mereka adalah Aladin dan lampu ajaibnya.

"Kurasa elf tidak bisa dilihat?" Dia bertanya pada dirinya sendiri

Tiba-tiba dia mendapat ide; dia melompat dan kembali ke rumahnya dengan gembira. Di
rumah ia segera menyiapkan apa saja untuk dibawa ke istana. Ketika dia tiba di depan
gerbang istana, para penjaga membiarkan dia masuk karena Raja telah menunggunya.

"Apakah kamu berhasil menangkap dan membawa angin ke penjara, Abunawas?" Tanya Raja
dengan rasa ingin tahu.

"Ya, Yang Mulia, saya telah melakukan perintah Anda," jawab Abunawas sambil
memberikan botol kepada Raja.

Raja menerima botol itu dan berkata, "Di mana angin yang kamu tangkap Abunawas?"

"Ada di dalam botol, keagungan," kata Abunawas.

"Tapi aku tidak melihat apa pun di dalam," jawab Raja

"Maafkan saya keagungan, pada dasarnya kita tidak bisa melihat angin, tetapi jika Anda
benar-benar ingin mengetahuinya, Anda harus membuka bak botol" jelas Abunawas

Ketika botol itu dibuka, Raja menemukan bau yang tidak enak darinya. Itu adalah flatus
Abunawas.

“Bau yang buruk! Apa itu Abunawas? ”Kata Raja dengan marah

"Maafkan saya, Yang Mulia, saya memiliki flatus dan mengirimkannya ke botol. Saya takut
jika angin keluar sehingga saya memasukkannya ke dalam botol, ”kata Abunawas ketakutan.

Akhirnya Raja tidak marah kepadanya karena alasannya dapat dipercaya. Dan kemudian Raja
memberinya banyak uang dan emas untuk kepintarannya

Abu Nawas and Camel Eggs

At one time King Harun Al Rasyid was struck by a strange disease. All the bodies of Raja
Harun Al Rasyid felt stiff and stiff, the body was hot and difficult to move. The disease is
getting worse because the King does not want to eat his food.
Many physicians were brought in to treat the King's disease, but none of them could treat it.
There are already many drugs taken but still cannot cure the disease.
The King did not want to give up with his illness, the King still wanted to recover. Then his
bodyguard was sent to hold a contest. Those who can cure the King's illness will be
rewarded.

The news about the contest was heard by Abu Nawas, he was interested in the contest. Not
long after that Abu Nawas racked his brain and went to the Palace of King Harun Al Rasyid.
After arriving at the palace, the king was surprised to see Abu Nawas coming to treat him.

"Abu Nawas, as far as I know you are not a physician, but why are you following this
contest?
"Lord, don't just look at my appearance, this way I can also treat the sick.
"Really? Then you can cure my illness too.
"Oh, of course you can, Lord. What exactly is the King's illness?
"I don't know either, but my whole body and body hurts," complained the King
"Ha ha ha ha ... Abu Nawas laughed instead.
"Hey what's so funny, said the king.
"No sir, if the disease is very easy to cure.
"Really, surprised the king. What is the name of the medicine and where can I get it.
"The medicine is Camel egg, and you can get it in this Baghdad city.
Hearing the words of Abu Nawas, the King was excited and wanted to get the Camel egg.
"Hey Abu Nawas, watch out if you lie. I'll punish you said the King.
"Look for the Camel egg first, don't just rule the law" said Abu Nawas.

The next day the King left with his bodyguards, He disguised himself as an ordinary citizen
because he did not want to be found out if he was a King. The king went to markets around
Baghdad, but had not yet found Camel eggs. The king did not want to give up and look for
houses of citizens but he has not found either. King Harun Al Rasyid's spirit was very strong,
he did not care about the distance he had traveled. Until finally arrived in a forest.

The king continued walking without regard to his tired bodyguards, while grumbling he kept
thinking where the egg was.
"Watch out you Abu Nawas, if I do not find the eggs I will punish you!" the king grumbled.
Pengwalwal be prepared to punish Abu Nawas tomorrow! "
"Ready King," said the exhausted bodyguard. "But we should go back to the Palace, it looks
like we didn't find the egg."
King Harun Al Rasyid considered the guard's advice, a few moments later he saw a
grandfather who was carrying a branch.
"Wait for the guards, we will ask the grandfather," said the king.

The King Harun Al Rasyid approached the grandfather who was carrying the branch, seeing
the condition of the old man who was very old he was very sorry, so he also offered a
service to bring the wood. After arriving at the grandfather's house earlier, the grandfather
thanked King Harun Al Rasyid for he did not think that he was a king.
"Thank you cuk, may Allah repay the cuk goodness"
"You're welcome," said the king.
"Oh yes, grandfather, I want to ask, does grandfather have Camel eggs," the king asked the
grandfather
"Camel Eggs?" the grandfather thought for a moment.
"Hahahahaha ..." the grandfather laughed. King Harun Al Rasyid was surprised and asked
what his grandfather was.
"Did I ask the wrong question," the king asked in amazement. "Can you explain,
Grandfather?"
"Cuk, in this world where there are Camel eggs, every ear-eared animal gives birth not to lay
eggs, so where there are Camel eggs. Hearing the explanation of the grandfather made the
king and his bodyguards startled.
"It is also true that there are camel eggs, camels do not give birth to animals lay eggs"
murmured the king.
"Beware, Abu Nawas"

The next day the king was furiously waiting for Abu Nawas who had been working on him,
pacing back and forth while mumbling.
"Watch out you Abu Nawas! Watch you Abu Nawas! '

A few moments later the Abu Nawas came to the Palace. He gave his humorous smile to the
king, King Harun Al Rasyid immediately scolded him
"Hai, you Abu Nawas, how dare you work on me, I can not accept this. With our agreement
that I will punish you because you have lied to me, where there are camel eggs while camels
are animals that give birth.
"You are right Sir Raja, Abu Nawas said, confirming the king's statement, the camel egg was
actually not there, the camel is an animal that gives birth and does not lay eggs.
"Then why did you tell me to look for the egg?" said the king. "Anyway, now you are
punished"
"Wait a minute, Lord, before I am sentenced, I want to ask"
"Ask what" the king said
"How is the condition of the King's body today? Asked the Abu Nawas.
"My body condition, I feel my body is not sore and sick like yesterday, the king was silent for
a moment.
"Abu Nawas, I am cured, my illness is gone, my disease is gone Abu Nawas." the king is very
happy.
"I know, my very long journey yesterday has made my body which was rarely moved to
move and it makes the flow of my frozen blood smooth again" that's the cause, thank you
Abu Nawas "said the king
"Yes sir, said Abu Nawas, a body that is not accustomed to moving will make the blood clot
and become a disease, therefore the king must be diligent in moving"
"Abu Nawas forgive me for scolding you, I will not punish you but I will give a gift for giving
me extraordinary advice.
"Thank you, Mr. King," replied Abu Nawas
Abu Nawas dan Telur Unta

Pada suatu ketika Raja Harun Al Rasyid terkena penyakit yang aneh. Semua tubuh Raja Harun Al
Rasyid terasa pegal dan kaku, badanya panas dan susah untuk bergerak. Penyakit itu semakin
bertambah parah dikarenakan sang Raja tidak mau memakan makanannya.
Banyak tabib didatangkan untuk mengobati penyakit Sang Raja, namun tak ada satupun yang bisa
mengobati. Sudah banyak pula obat yang diminum tetpai masih belum bisa mengobati penyakitnya.
Sang Raja tidak mau menyerah dengan penyakitnya, Raja masih berkeinginan untuk sembuh. Maka
pengawalnya diutus untuk mengadakan sebuah sayembara. Yang bisa menyembuhkan penyakit
Sang Raja akan diberikan hadiah.

Kabar sayembara itu terdegar oleh Abu Nawas, ia pun tertarik dengan sayembara itu. Tidak lama
kemudian si Abu Nawas memutar otak dan pergi menuju ke Istana Raja Harun Al Rasyid. Setelah tiba
di istana, sang raja terkejut melihat si Abu Nawas datang untuk mengobati dirinya.

"Abu Nawas , setahuku engkau bukan lah seorang tabib, tapi mengapa engkau mengikuti sayembara
ini?
"Tuan Raja janganlah lihat penampilanku saja, begini-begini aku juga bisa obati orang sakit.
"Benarkah? Berarti engkau bisa sembuhkan penyakitku juga.
"Oh, tentu saja bisa tuan Raja. Sebenarnya apa penyakit Raja?
"Aku juga tidak tahu, tetapi seluruh tubuh dan badanku terasa sakit semua, keluh sang Raja
"Ha ha ha ha...Abu Nawas malah tertawa.
"Hei apanya yang lucu, kata sang raja.
"Tidak tuan, kalo penyakit itu gampang sekali obatnya.
"Benarkah, kaget sang raja. Apa nama obatnya dan dimana aku bisa mendapatkannya.
"Obat itu adalah telur Unta, dan anda bisa mendapatkannya dikota Baghdad ini.
Mendengar kata-kata Abu Nawas, sang Raja merasa bersemangat dan ingin mendapatkan telur Unta
itu.
"Hei Abu Nawas, awas kalo kamu sampai berbohong. akan kuhukum kamu kata sang Raja.
"Cari dulu telur Unta itu, jangan asal hukum saja" kata Abu Nawas.

Keesokan harinya sang Raja berangkat dengan pengawalnya, Ia menyamar menjadi rakyat biasa
karena tidak ingin diketauhi kalau dia seorang Raja. Raja pergi ke pasar-pasar disekitar Baghdad,
tetapi belum menemukan telur Unta. Raja tidak mau menyerah dan mencarinya kerumah-rumah
warga tetapi dia belum menemukan juga. Semangat Raja Harun Al Rasyid sangat kuat sekali, ia tidak
peduli jarak yang telah ditempuhnya. Hingga akhirnya tiba di sebuah hutan.

Raja terus berjalan tanpa hiraukan pengawalnya yang sudah kelelahan,sambil menggerutu ia tetap
berpikir dimana telur itu berada.
"Awas kau Abu Nawas, kalau aku tidak menemukan telur itu akan kuhukum kau!" gerutu raja.
Penggawal bersiaplah untuk menghukum Abu Nawas besok!".
"Siap Raja" kata pengawal yang sudah kelelahan. "Tetapi kita sebaiknya kembali ke Istana,
sepertinya kita tidak menemukan telur itu".
Raja Harun Al Rasyid mempertimbangkan saran sang pengawal, beberapa saat kemudian ia melihat
seorang kakek yang sedang membawa ranting.
"Tunggu pengawal, kita coba tanya pada kakek itu" kata Sang Raja.

Sang Raja Harun Al Rasyid menhampiri kakek yang membawa ranting itu, melihat kondisi si kakek
yang udah tua ia sangat kasihan, maka ia pun menawarkan jasa untuk membawa kayu-kayu itu.
Setelah sampai dirumah kakek tadi, sang kakek berterimakasih kepada Raja Harun Al Rasyid yang ia
tidak menyangka bahwa ia adalah seorang raja.
"Terima kasih cuk, semoga Allah membalas kebaikan cucuk"
"Sama-sama kek" kata raja.
"Oh iya kek, saya mau bertanya, apakah kakek punya telur Unta" tanya raja pada si kakek
"Telur Unta?" si kakek pun berfikir sejenak.
"Hahahahaha..." tawa si kakek. Raja Harun Al Rasyid pun heran dan bertanya apda sang kakek.
"Apa saya salah tanya kek" tanya raja keheranan. "Bisa kakek jelaskan?"
"Cuk, didunia ini mana ada telur Unta, setiap hewan yang bertelinga itu melahirkan bukan bertelur,
jadi mana ada telur Unta. Mendengar penjelasan sang kakek membuat sang raja dan pengawalnya
tersentak kaget.
"Benar juga mana ada telur unta, unta kan binatang melahirkan bukan bertelur" gumam sang raja.
"Awas kau Abu Nawas"
Keesokan harinya sang raja dengan kesalnya menunggu Abu Nawas yang telah mengerjainya,
mondar-mandir kesana-kemari sambil komat-kamit.
"Awas kau Abu Nawas! awas kau Abu Nawas!'

Beberapa saat kemudian si Abu Nawas datang ke Istana. Ia memberi senyum jenakanya kepada raja,
Raja Harun Al Rasyid langsung memarahinya
"Hai Kau Abu Nawas, beraninya kau mengerjai ku, aku tidak bisa terima ini. Dengan kesepakatan kita
bahwa Aku akan menghukummu karena kamu telah membohongi aku, mana ada telur unta
sedangkan unta itu kan hewan yang melahirkan.
"Anda benar Tuan Raja, kata Abu Nawas membenarkan pernyataan sang raja, telur unta itu
sebenarnya tidak ada, unta hewan yang melahirkan dan bukan bertelur.
"Lantas, mengapa kau menyuruhku untuk mencari telur itu?" sanggah raja. "Pokoknya sekarang
kamu dihukum"
"Tunggu dulu Tuan Raja, sebelum saya dihukum, saya ingin bertanya"
"Tanya apa" kata raja
"Bagaimana kondisi tubuh Tuan Raja hari ini? tanya si Abu Nawas.
"Kondisi badanku, aku merasa tubuhku tidak pegal dan sakit seperti kemaren, sang raja pun terdiam
sejenak.
"Abu Nawas, aku sudah sembuh, penyakitku hilang, penyakitku hilang Abu Nawas." raja sangat
gembira.
"Aku tahu, perjalananku yang amat jauh kemaren telah membuat tubuhku yang tadinya jarang
bergerak menjadi bergerak dan itu membuat aliran darahku yang beku menjadi lancar kembali" itu
penyebabnya, terima kasih Abu Nawas" kata sang raja
"Benar tuan, Kata Abu Nawas, tubuh yang tidak dibiasakan bergerak akan membuat darah membeku
dan menjadi penyakit, maka dari itu raja rajin-rajinlah bergerak"
"Abu Nawas maafkan aku telah memarahimu, aku tidak akan menghukummu tapi aku akan berikan
hadiah karena telah memberiku saran yang luar biasa.
"Terima kasih tuan raja" jawab Abu Nawas
A Fair Share
The old judge had been sick for three months. Many doctors tried to cure him,
but he did not get better. One day he called his son, Abunawas.

“Abu, my time will come soon,” he said to his son. “King Aaron El Rosyid will
appoint you to be my successor. Take it, if you think you can be a good judge. If
think you can’t, leave it.”

Not long after that, Abu’s father pass away. Abunawas was so sad and confused.
He was sad because he lost his father. He was confused because he did not want
to replace his father’s position, but he had not had any good reason to refuse it
yet.

One day he saw children playing with hobby-horses made of the midrib of
banana leaf. He made one and joined them. They ran around happily.

Finally, they went to the palace with their hobby-horses. Some ministers saw
Abunawas among the children. They thought that Abu was mad for hid father
had just died. They reported this to the king.

The king did not believe them, he called Abu to come to the palace. When Abu
came at the gate of the palace, a guard stopped him. “Hey, listen,” said the
guard. “I’ll let you in if you promise me something.”

“Promise you what?” Abu asked.

“Promise to give me half of anything that the king will give you

“Ok, no problem,” said Abu. The guard let him pass the gate into the palace.
When Abu was in front of the king, he bowed but did not say anything. The king
asked him.
“Abu, will you be a judge like your father?”

Abu did not answer. The king became impatient and said loudly.
“Hey, Abu! Do you hear me?”

Abunawas did not say a word but began dancing. The king was then very angry
and thought that Abu was crazy. He asked one of his guard to beat Abu with a
rattan stick twenty times. Abu was in pain but he tried not to cry or say a word.
“Now, go away,” said the king. Abu left the palace and began to beat the guard
ten times. He then left him for home.

The guard reported this to the king. The king was angry and ordered Abu to
come to the palace again.
“why did you beat this guard?” asked the king.

Calmly Abu answered, “Yesterday, before I passed the gate he stopped me and
made me to promise something.” “What did he want you to promise?”

“He wanted me to give him half of anything that Your Majesty would give me.
And yesterday you gave me twenty beats on my back. So I gave him share, ten
beats on his back. It’s fair, isn’t it?”
KISAH ABU NAWAS: PEKERJAAN MUSTAHIL

Baginda baru saja membaca kitab tentang kehebatan Raja Sulaiman yang mampu
memerintahkan, para jin memindahkan singgasana Ratu Bilqis di dekat istananya. Baginda
tiba-tiba merasa tertarik. Hatinya mulai tergelitik untuk melakukan hal yang sama. Mendadak
beliau ingin istananya dipindahkan ke atas
gunung agar bisa lebih leluasa menikmati pemandangan di sekitar. Dan bukankah hal itu
tidak mustahil bisa dilakukan karena ada Abu Nawas yang amat cerdik di negerinya.

Abu Nawas segera dipanggil untuk menghadap Baginda Raja Harun Al Rasyid. Setelah Abu
Nawas dihadapkan, Baginda bersabda, "Sanggupkah engkau memindahkan istanaku ke atas
gunung agar aku lebih
leluasa melihat negeriku?" tanya Baginda.

Abu Nawas tidak langsung menjawab. la berpikir sejenak hingga keningnya berkerut. Tidak
mungkin menolak perintah Baginda kecuali kalau memang ingin dihukum.

Akhirnya Abu Nawas terpaksa menyanggupi proyek raksasa itu. Ada satu lagi permintaan
dari Baginda, pekerjaan itu harus selesai hanya dalam waktu sebulan.

Abu Nawas pulang dengan hati masgul. Setiap malam ia hanya berteman dengan rembulan
dan bintang-bintang. Hari-hari dilewati dengan kegundahan. Tak ada hari yang lebih berat
dalam hidup Abu Nawas kecuali hari-hari ini.Tetapi pada hari kesembilan ia tidak lagi
merasa gundah gulana.

Keesokan harinya Abu Nawas menuju istana. la menghadap Baginda untuk membahas
pemindahan istana. Dengan senang hati Baginda akan mendengarkan, apa yang diinginkan
Abu Nawas. "Ampun Tuanku, hamba datang ke sini hanya untuk mengajukan usul untuk
memperlancar pekerjaan hamba nanti." kata Abu Nawas.

"Apa usul itu?"

"Hamba akan memindahkan istana Paduka yang mulia tepat pada Hari Raya Idul Qurban
yang kebetulan hanya kurang dua puluh hari lagi."

"Kalau hanya usulmu, baiklah." kata Baginda.

"Satu lagi Baginda..... " Abu Nawas menambahkan.

"Apa lagi?" tanya Baginda.

"Hamba mohon Baginda menyembelih sepuluh ekor sapi yang gemuk untuk dibagikan
langsung kepada para fakir miskin." kata Abu Nawas.

"Usulmu kuterima." kata Baginda menyetujui.Abu Nawas pulang dengan perasaan riang
gembira. Kini tidak ada lagi yang perlu dikhawatirkan. Toh nanti bila waktunya sudah tiba, ia
pasti akan dengan mudah memindahkan istana Baginda Raja. Jangankan hanya memindahkan
ke puncak gunung, ke dasar samudera pun Abu Nawas sanggup.

Desas-desus mulai tersebar ke seluruh pelosok negeri. Hampir semua orang harap-harap
cemas. Tetapi sebagian besar rakyat merasa yakin atas kemampuan Abu Nawas. Karena
selama ini Abu Nawas belum pernah gagal melaksanakan tugas-tugas aneh yang dibebankan
di atas pundaknya. Namun ada beberapa orang yang meragukan keberhasilan Abu Nawas kali
ini.

Saat-saat yang dinanti-nantikan tiba. Rakyat berbondong-bondong menuju lapangan untuk

melakukan salat Hari Raya Idul Qurban. Dan seusai salat, sepuluh sapi sumbangan Baginda
Raja disembelih lalu dimasak kemudian segera dibagikan kepada fakir miskin.

Kini giliran Abu Nawas yang harus melaksanakan tugas berat itu. Abu Nawas berjalan
menuju istana diikuti oleh rakyat. Sesampai di depan istana Abu Nawas bertanya kepada
Baginda Raja, "Ampun Tuanku yang mulia, apakah istana sudah tidak ada orangnya lagi?"

"Tidak ada." jawab Baginda Raja singkat.

Kemudian Abu Nawas berjalan beberapa langkah mendekati istana. la berdiri sambil
memandangi istana. Abu Nawas berdiri mematung seolah-olah ada yang ditunggu. Benar.
Baginda Raja akhirnya tidak sabar. "Abu Nawas, mengapa engkau belum juga mengangkat
istanaku?" tanya Baginda Raja.

"Hamba sudah siap sejak tadi Baginda." kata Abu Nawas.

"Apa maksudmu engkau sudah siap sejak tadi? Kalau engkau sudah siap. Lalu apa yang
engkau tunggu?" tanya Baginda masih diliputi perasaan heran.

"Hamba menunggu istana Paduka yang mulia diangkat oleh seluruh rakyat yang hadir untuk
diletakkan di atas pundak hamba. Setelah itu hamba tentu akan memindahkan istana Paduka
yang mulia ke atas gunung sesuai dengan titah Paduka."

Baginda Raja Harun Al Rasyid terpana. Beliau tidak menyangka Abu Nawas masih bisa
keluar dari lubang jarum.

STORY ABU NAWAS: IMPORTANT WORK

His Majesty just read the book about the greatness of King Solomon who was able to
command, the jinns moved the throne of Queen Bilqis near his palace. His Majesty suddenly
felt attracted. His heart began to tingle to do the same thing. He suddenly wanted his palace
to be moved up
mountain in order to more freely enjoy the scenery around. And isn't that not impossible to do
because there is a very clever Abu Nawas in his country.

Abu Nawas was immediately summoned to face His Majesty King Harun Al Rasyid. After
Abu Nawas was confronted, His Majesty said, "Can you move my palace up the mountain so
that I can
freely see my country? "asked His Majesty.

Abu Nawas did not immediately answer. He thought for a moment until his brow furrowed. It
is impossible to refuse His Majesty unless you really want to be punished.

Finally, Abu Nawas was forced to undertake the giant project. There is one more request
from His Majesty, the work must be completed in just a month.

Abu Nawas returned with a heart masgul. Every night he is only friends with the moon and
stars. The days passed with anxiety. There were no more difficult days in Abu Nawas's life
except these days. But on the ninth day he no longer felt uneasy.

The next day Abu Nawas headed for the palace. He went to His Majesty to discuss the
removal of the palace. His Majesty will listen, what Abu Nawas wants. "Forgive my lord, I
came here only to propose to facilitate my work later." said Abu Nawas.

"What is the suggestion?"

"I will move the noble palace of His Majesty right on the Eid al-Qurban which happens to be
only twenty days away."

"If it's only your suggestion, fine." said His Majesty.

"One more Your Majesty ....." Abu Nawas added.

"What else?" asked His Majesty.

"I ask His Majesty to slaughter ten fat cows to be distributed directly to the poor." said Abu
Nawas.

"I accept your proposal." His Majesty said approvingly. Nawas mother returned with a happy
feeling of joy. Now there is nothing more to worry about. After all, when the time comes, he
will definitely move the palace of His Majesty easily. Let alone just move to the top of the
mountain, even to the bottom of the ocean, Abu Nawas could.
Rumors began to spread throughout the country. Almost everyone is anxious. But most
people feel confident about the ability of Abu Nawas. Because so far Abu Nawas has never
failed to carry out the strange tasks that are imposed on his shoulders. But there are some
people who doubt the success of Abu Nawas this time.

The awaited moment arrived. People flocked to the field to pray Eid al-Qurban. And after the
prayer, ten cows donated by His Majesty were slaughtered and then cooked and then
immediately distributed to the poor.

Now it is Abu Nawas's turn to carry out this difficult task. Abu Nawas walked to the palace
followed by the people. Arriving in front of the palace of Abu Nawas asked His Majesty,
"Dear Lord, my lord, is the palace no longer available?"

"There is no." His Majesty answered briefly.

Then Abu Nawas walked a few steps toward the palace. He stood looking at the palace. Abu
Nawas stood still as if there was awaited. Correct. His Majesty is finally impatient. "Abu
Nawas, why haven't you raised my palace?" asked His Majesty.

"I have been ready, Your Majesty." said Abu Nawas.

"What do you mean you're ready? If you're ready. Then what are you waiting for?" asked His
Majesty still filled with feelings of wonder.

"I am waiting for His Majesty's noble palace to be lifted by all the people present to be placed
on my shoulders. After that, I will certainly move His Majesty's palace up the mountain in
accordance with His Majesty's orders."

His Majesty King Harun Al Rasyid was stunned. He did not think Abu Nawas could still get
out of the eye of a needle.
Bagian yang Adil
Hakim tua itu sakit selama tiga bulan. Banyak dokter berusaha menyembuhkannya, tetapi ia
tidak membaik. Suatu hari dia memanggil putranya, Abunawas.

"Abu, waktuku akan segera datang," katanya kepada putranya. “Raja Aaron El
Rosyid akan menunjuk Anda untuk menjadi penggantiku. Ambillah, jika Anda pikir
Anda bisa menjadi hakim yang baik. Jika Anda pikir Anda tidak bisa, tinggalkan
saja. "

Tidak lama setelah itu, ayah Abu meninggal. Abunawas sangat sedih dan bingung.
Dia sedih karena kehilangan ayahnya. Dia bingung karena dia tidak ingin
menggantikan posisi ayahnya, tetapi dia belum punya alasan yang baik untuk
menolaknya.

Suatu hari dia melihat anak-anak bermain dengan hobi-kuda yang terbuat dari
pelepah daun pisang. Dia membuat satu dan bergabung dengan mereka. Mereka
berlarian dengan gembira.

Akhirnya, mereka pergi ke istana dengan kuda-kuda hobi mereka. Beberapa

menteri melihat Abunawas di antara anak-anak. Mereka mengira Abu marah
karena ayah yang bersembunyi baru saja meninggal. Mereka melaporkan hal ini
kepada raja.

Raja tidak mempercayai mereka, dia memanggil Abu untuk datang ke istana.
Ketika Abu datang di gerbang istana, seorang penjaga menghentikannya. "Hei,
dengarkan," kata penjaga itu. "Aku akan membiarkanmu masuk jika kamu berjanji
padaku sesuatu."

"Berjanjilah padamu, apa?" Tanya Abu.

"Berjanji untuk memberi saya setengah dari apa pun yang akan diberikan raja
kepada Anda

"Oke, tidak masalah," kata Abu. Penjaga membiarkannya melewati gerbang ke

istana.

Ketika Abu berada di depan raja, dia membungkuk tetapi tidak mengatakan apa-
apa. Raja bertanya padanya.

"Abu, maukah kamu menjadi hakim seperti ayahmu?"

Abu tidak menjawab. Raja menjadi tidak sabar dan berkata dengan keras.

"Hei, Abu! Apakah kamu mendengarku? ”

Abunawas tidak mengatakan sepatah kata pun tetapi mulai menari. Raja kemudian
sangat marah dan mengira Abu gila. Dia meminta salah seorang pengawalnya
untuk memukuli Abu dengan tongkat rotan dua puluh kali. Abu kesakitan tetapi
dia berusaha untuk tidak menangis atau mengatakan sepatah kata pun.

"Sekarang, pergi," kata raja. Abu meninggalkan istana dan mulai memukuli
penjaga itu sepuluh kali. Dia kemudian meninggalkannya untuk pulang.

Penjaga melaporkan ini kepada raja. Raja marah dan memerintahkan Abu untuk
datang ke istana lagi.

"Mengapa kamu mengalahkan penjaga ini?" Tanya raja.

Dengan tenang Abu menjawab, "Kemarin, sebelum saya melewati gerbang dia
menghentikan saya dan membuat saya berjanji sesuatu." "Apa yang dia ingin
kamu janjikan?"

"Dia ingin aku memberinya setengah dari apa pun yang akan diberikan Yang Mulia
kepadaku. Dan kemarin Anda memberi saya dua puluh denyut di punggung saya.
Jadi saya memberinya bagian, sepuluh ketukan di punggungnya. Ini adil, bukan? "
KISAH ABU NAWAS : BASUH TANGAN 120 KALI

Abu Nawas bekerja sebagai orang kepercayaan Raja Ali Ibnu Bakri. Abu Nawas dikenali
sebagai orang cerdik dan ahli dongeng yang termasyhur. Suatu hari Raja mengalami
ketegangan fikiran selepas bekerja sepanjang hari mengurus rakyat. Sang Raja
memerintahkan kepada Abu Nawas bercerita mengenai kisah-kisah aneh dan ajaib, yang
menjadi kegemaran sang Raja, untuk menghilangkan sedikit ketegangan jiwa yang
dialaminya.
Kebiasaannya, Raja mendengar kisah-kisah Abu Nawas pada malam hari, yaitu sebelum sang
raja menidurkan matanya. Abu Nawas menjawab, “Dengan senang hati, wahai raja yang baik
dan bahagia...”
Dikisahkan, wahai Raja yang bahagia, salah seorang pelayan istana berkata kepada raja Cina:
Wahai Raja zaman ini, tuan rumah memerintahkan para pelayannya agar mengambil air dan
semua yang diperlukan untuk membasuh tangan salah seorang tamunya yang dianggap agak
ganjil dan aneh. Tamu itu lalu membasuh tangannya dengan air bercampur sabun, garam dan
daun sebanyak seratus dua puluh kali basuhan.
Selepas itu barulah ia makan ‘ragut’(sejenis makanan yang berasal dari sebuah desa di
Baghdad), tetapi pemuda itu memakannya seolah-olah dengan perasaan jijik dan mual,
sementara kami memandangnya dengan penuh kehairanan, sebab tangannya dan malah
sekujur tubuhnya menggigil.
Bila kami melihat tangannya, barulah kami mengetahui bahawa ibu jarinya terpotong, dia
makan hanya dengan empat jari, sehingga menyebabkan makanan itu berjatuhan dari
tangannya. Kami menyoalnya dengan hairan, “Apa yang terjadi dengan ibu jarimu? Apakah
Tuhan menciptakanmu dalam keadaan seperti ini, atau apakah engkau pernah mengalami
kemalangan?”
Pemuda itu menyahut, “Demi Tuhan, bukan hanya ibu jari ini saja yang hilang, tetapi juga
ibu jari tanganku yang satu lagi, dan tumit kedua-dua kakiku, seperti yang akan kalian lihat.”
Lalu dia menunjukkan tangan kirinya dan kedua-dua kakinya. Kami melihat bahawa tangan
kirinya nampak seperti tangan kanannya dan kedua-dua kakinya, tidak mempunyai tumit.
Ketika kami melihatnya, kehairanan kami semakin bertambah, hingga kami berkata padanya,
“Kami tak sabar menunggu kisahmu dan penyebab terpotongnya kedua ibu jari serta tumit
kakimu dan mengapa engkau membasuh tanganmu seratus dua puluh kali.”
Pemuda itu berkata, “Ayahku adalah salah seorang pedagang yang paling terkemuka di
Baghdad pada masa pemerintahan khalifah Harun Al-Rasyid. Tetapi ayahku gemar minum
anggur dan bermain muzik kecapi, sehingga ketika dia meninggal ayahku tidak mewariskan
sesuatu pun kepadaku.
Aku melaksanakan upacara pemakaman baginya, mengadakan pengajian Al-Quran, dan terus
berkabung untuknya dalam masa yang cukup lama. Lalu aku membuka kedai peninggalan
ayahku dan mendapati bahawa dia hanya meninggalkan sedikit harta dan banyak hutang.
Maka aku terpaksa menjelaskan dan membayar kesemua hutang ayahku dengan
membayarnya beransur-ansur.
Aku mula melakukan jual-beli dan membayar hutang ayahku minggu demi minggu, hingga
akhirnya aku berjaya menjelaskan kesemua hutang ayahku dan modalku mula bertambah.
Suatu hari, ketika aku sedang duduk di kedaiku, datanglah ke pasar seorang gadis muda yang
cantik, yang kecantikannya belum pernah kulihat tandingannya, berpakaian mewah dan
dihiasi permata.
Dia menaiki seekor keledai betina, dengan seorang hamba sahaya berkulit hitam berjalan di
hadapannya dan seorang lagi di belakangnya. Gadis itu turun dari keledainya dan terus
memasuki pasar. Baru saja dia melangkahkan kakinya ke pasar, seorang pengawal datang
mengikutinya dan berkata, “Tuan puteri, masuklah, tapi jangan sampai ada orang yang
mengenalimu, sebab kita akan menghadapi kesukaran.”
Lalu pengawal itu berdiri berjalan di hadapan sang gadis, sambil melihat-lihat kedai. Tetapi
kerana mendapati tidak ada kedai yang buka kecuali kedaiku, gadis itu mendatangi kedaiku.
Gadis itu menegurku, lalu duduk....
Tiba-tiba fajar pun menyingsing. Abu Nawas terdiam, lalu sang Raja berkata, “Ceritamu
benar-benar aneh dan indah!” Abu Nawas menjawab, “Esok malam ceritanya lagi menarik
dan lagi indah.”

STORY ABU NAWAS: WASH HANDS 120 TIMES

Abu Nawas worked as a trusted person of Raja Ali Ibnu Bakri. Abu Nawas is known as a
clever person and a famous fairytale expert. One day the King experienced the tension of
mind after working all day taking care of the people. The King ordered Abu Nawas to tell
about strange and miraculous stories, which became the King's favorite, to relieve some of
the mental stress he was experiencing.
Habitually, the King heard the stories of Abu Nawas at night, that is, before the king put his
eyes to sleep. Abu Nawas answered, "With pleasure, O good and happy king ..."
It is said, O happy king, one of the palace maids said to the king of China:
O King of the day, the host ordered his servants to fetch water and all that was needed to
wash the hands of one of his guests who was considered rather odd and strange. The guest
then washed his hands with water with soap, salt and leaves one hundred and twenty times
washed.
After that, he ate 'ragut' (a type of food that came from a village in Baghdad), but the young
man ate it as if with disgust and nausea, while we looked at him with warmth, because his
hands and even his whole body shivered.
When we see his hand, then we know that his thumb is cut, he eats only with four fingers,
causing the food to fall from his hand. We question it with hairan, "What happened to your
thumb? Did God create you in this condition, or have you experienced misfortune? "
The young man replied, "For God's sake, not only is this thumb missing, but also my other
thumb, and the heels of my feet, as you will see."
Then he showed his left hand and both legs. We saw that his left hand looked like his right
hand and both legs, had no heels. When we saw it, our morale grew, until we said to him,
"We can't wait for your story and the cause of your thumb and heel cut and why you washed
your hands one hundred and twenty times."
The young man said, "My father was one of the most prominent traders in Baghdad during
the reign of the caliph Harun Al-Rasyid. But my father liked to drink wine and play music on
the harp, so that when he died my father did not leave anything to me.
I carried out a funeral for him, held a Koran recitation, and continued to mourn for him for
quite a long time. Then I opened my father's relic store and found that he had only left a small
fortune and a lot of debt. So I was forced to explain and repay all of my father's debts by
paying him back.
I started trading and paying off my father's debt week after week, until finally I succeeded in
explaining all of my father's debt and my capital grew. One day, while I was sitting in my
shop, came to the market a beautiful young girl, whose beauty I had never seen before,
dressed in luxury and adorned with gems.
He rode on a female donkey, with a black slave walking before him and another behind him.
The girl descended from her donkey and continued to enter the market. Just when he stepped
into the market, a bodyguard came to follow him and said, "Princess, come in, but don't let
anyone recognize you, because we will face hardship."
Then the bodyguard stood walking before the girl, while looking around the shop. But
because they found no store open except mine, the girl came to mine. The girl rebuked me,
then sat down ...
Suddenly dawn broke. Abu Nawas was silent, then the King said, "Your story is really
strange and beautiful!" Abu Nawas answered, "Tomorrow night the story is more interesting
and more beautiful."
