Arziki Rigar Kaya Book One Story Summary

The Crown Of Zubaidatu

The story opens in Baghdad, where Caliph Haruna Rashid is seated on his throne among his
courtiers. A servant enters holding a royal crown made of red gold and decorated with pearls,
jewels, and precious stones.

The crown belongs to Lady Zubaidatu, but the jewel needed to cover the top of the crown is
missing. The Caliph orders his servants to search his treasury, but they cannot find a jewel
large enough.

He becomes angry and commands them to search the markets, traders, and wealthy merchants.
After searching everywhere, they report that only one man may have such a jewel:
Abu Muhammad Kasala of Basra.

The Summoning Of Abu Muhammad Kasala

Haruna Rashid orders his minister, Ja’afar al-Barmaki, to write a letter to the governor of
Basra. The message commands that Abu Muhammad Kasala be brought to Baghdad immediately.

Masrur, the Caliph’s chief guard, travels to Basra with the royal message. When he arrives,
the governor receives him with honour and sends men to bring Abu Muhammad.

Abu Muhammad welcomes the royal messengers with respect and invites them into his house.
Though Masrur wants to leave immediately, Abu Muhammad insists they should rest, bathe, and
eat before the journey.

The Wealth Of Abu Muhammad

When Masrur and his companions enter Abu Muhammad’s house, they are amazed by its beauty.
The walls are covered with silk curtains decorated with gold and shining jewels. The bath
rooms are made with precious stones mixed with gold and silver, and the bath water is
scented with rose water.

Abu Muhammad provides them with luxurious clothing, fine food, drinks, and generous gifts.
Masrur is shocked because he has not even seen such beauty and wealth in the Caliph’s palace.

The next day, Abu Muhammad again entertains them and gives them more gifts. Finally, after
preparing himself, he follows them to Baghdad with wealth and dignity.

Abu Muhammad Before The Caliph

When Abu Muhammad reaches Baghdad, he appears before Caliph Haruna Rashid and greets him
with honour. He presents gifts that amaze the Caliph, including a golden tree with branches
of precious stones and fruits of pearls.

He also brings a royal tent made of silk, jewels, gold, and precious designs. The Caliph is
deeply amazed and asks Abu Muhammad how he acquired such strange and great wealth.

Abu Muhammad then reveals that he was once poor, lazy, and useless, known everywhere as
Abu Muhammad Kasala because of his extreme laziness.

The Lazy Young Man

Abu Muhammad explains that his father was a barber who left him nothing except his shaving
tools. After his father died, his mother worked hard to feed them while Abu Muhammad stayed
at home sleeping.

He was so lazy that if he slept in the shade and the sun moved onto him, he would still not
move unless someone came to lift him. Even when food was brought, his mother had to help him
sit and sometimes feed him.

One day, his mother brought five silver dirhams and told him about a trustworthy merchant
named Abu Muzaffar, who was traveling to China for trade. She wanted Abu
Muhammad to give the money to the merchant so he could buy something for him.

Abu Muhammad refused to stand up because of laziness, but his mother threatened not to bring
him food or water again. Because of this, he reluctantly agreed.

The Five Dirhams

His mother helped him stand, put shoes on his feet, and supported him as he walked slowly
to the seashore where the merchants were preparing to travel.

Abu Muhammad gave the five dirhams to Abu Muzaffar and asked him to buy something from
China that might bring profit. The other traders laughed because they knew Abu Muhammad was
so lazy that people hardly ever saw him standing on his own feet.

Abu Muzaffar accepted the money and prayed that Allah would bless it. Then the merchants
departed for China.

The Strange Monkey

On the return journey, Abu Muzaffar remembers that he forgot to buy something for Abu
Muhammad. The other traders beg him not to turn back, so they agree to contribute money as
profit for the five dirhams.

Later, they stop at an island where Abu Muzaffar sees an old monkey being beaten by other
monkeys. He feels pity and buys the old monkey with Abu Muhammad’s five dirhams.

At first, it seems like a useless purchase, but the monkey later proves to be extraordinary.
It dives into the sea and brings out precious minerals, then later saves the merchants from
danger on an island of hostile people.

Because the monkey saves them, the merchants reward it with a huge amount of gold. Abu
Muzaffar keeps all the money and jewels for Abu Muhammad.

Abu Muhammad Becomes Rich

When the merchants return to Basra, Abu Muhammad’s mother wakes him and tells him to go see
what Abu Muzaffar brought for him.

Abu Muhammad is disappointed when he sees only a monkey. But later, Abu Muzaffar invites him
home and gives him all the wealth earned through the monkey, including gold, jewels, and
treasure.

Abu Muhammad takes the wealth home to his mother, and she becomes very happy. She advises
him to leave laziness behind, open a shop, and begin trading.

From that moment, strength enters Abu Muhammad’s body. His laziness disappears, and he
becomes active in business. He opens a shop, trades seriously, and begins to grow richer
every day.

The Secret Of The Monkey

The monkey remains with Abu Muhammad and becomes his companion. Every morning, it leaves and
returns at noon with a bag containing one thousand dinars.

Through the monkey’s daily gift and the profit from his business, Abu Muhammad becomes a
great merchant. He buys houses, gardens, slaves, and many properties until he becomes one of
the richest men in Basra.

One day, the monkey begins acting strangely and then speaks. It tells Abu Muhammad not to be
afraid, explaining that it is not an ordinary monkey but a powerful being from the jinn world
who came to help him.

The monkey tells him that now that he has been lifted from poverty and made wealthy, it is
time for Abu Muhammad to repay the favour.

The Marriage Mission

Abu Muhammad asks what the monkey wants. The monkey tells him it wants to arrange a marriage
between Abu Muhammad and a beautiful girl whose face shines like the full moon.

It instructs him to dress in his finest clothes, ride a decorated mule, and go to the market
of the silk traders. There, he must find a man named Sharif and ask to marry his daughter.

If Sharif says Abu Muhammad is not rich enough, he must give him a bag of one thousand dinars.
If Sharif asks for more, he must keep adding money until the man agrees.

This becomes the beginning of another mysterious stage in Abu Muhammad’s life.
