One of the princes wanted to verify by himself the truth of what he was told about the existence of a just judge in his kingdom that no one could ever deceive, so the prince disguised himself as a merchant and rode his horse and set out for the city, and there a lame man approached him asking him for his honesty, so he gave him, and if the cripple cling to his robe, he turned The merchant, in astonishment at the lame, asked him what he wanted after giving him the alms. The crippled said: Yes, you gave me, but do me a favor and take me to the city square. The prince answered his request and took him to the city square, but the man refused to get off the horse, so the merchant scolded him, saying: Why? refuse to go down? Here we have reached the city square. The crippled man said: Why did you go down while the horse is mine? The prince was enraged by the crippled man, and the dispute between them intensified, until people gathered around them and suggested that they go to the city judge. The two went to the judge and the people were with them, and the attendant began calling the disputing parties according to their role, so he called at first a carpenter and a fat man who were quarreling for money in the hands of the merchant. His hand is on my hand and my wallet, but the money is my money. As for the quail, he said: This is a lie and a slander. This carpenter came to me to buy me ghee, and after I filled the entire jug for him, he asked me to untie a gold coin for him, so I took out the wallet and put it on the table, so he took it and wanted to run away. But I managed to grab him by the hand and brought him here. The judge was silent, thinking, then said: Leave the money here and come tomorrow, and when it was the turn of the merchant and the crippled, the merchant told what happened, then the judge indicated to the crippled to come with his argument, and the crippled said: All of this is a lie, I was riding my horse in the city square, but this man lost He was sitting on the ground, and he asked me to carry him, so I allowed him to ride the horse and took him to the place he wanted, but he refused to go down after that and claimed that the horse was his property. The judge thought for a while and then said: Leave the horse with me and come tomorrow.
On the next day, the litigants gathered in the court to hear the judge’s ruling, so the carpenter and the fatman came first to know the ruling. The judge said to the carpenter: The money is yours, then he referred to the fat man, saying: As for this one, beat him with a stick fifty times, then the judge summoned the merchant and the lame and asked the merchant: Can you know? Your horse is among twenty horses? The merchant said: Yes, so the crippled judge asked the same question, and he answered yes. The judge took the two of them to the stable. The merchant immediately pointed to his horse, which distinguished it between twenty horses, and the crippled also recognized the horse. The judge returned to the court and said to the merchant: The horse is your horse, take it, and as for the lame man, hit him with a stick fifty times. After the trial was over, the judge went to his house, and the merchant followed him. The judge turned to him and asked him what he wanted. The merchant replied: I wanted to know how you knew that the money belonged to the merchant. And the horse is mine? The judge said: As for the matter of the carpenter and the quail, I put the money in a mug of water, then I looked at the mug this morning to see if the ghee was floating on the surface of the water. It was more difficult for me, since the cripple like you pointed to the horse at once, but I did not take you to the stable to see if you would recognize the horse, Rather, I did that to see which of you the horse would recognize, when you approached him he turned his head and extended it to you, and when the crippled approached him he raised his ears and his feet in disapproval, and in this way I knew that you are the owner of the horse.
At this moment the merchant said: I am not a merchant, but I am the emir of the country and I have come to you to know the truth of what is being said about you, and here I saw for myself that you are a wise and just judge, so ask me what you want to reward you with it. The judge said: Thank you, Prince, I do not need a reward for I honestly do my job.
