Aladdin and the Magic Lamp
Source
As expected from last night's episode, Aladdin is seized and chained by the sultan's guards. And when he is in his presence, the sultan orders to decapitate Aladdin.
Aladdin is saved at the last second by the protests of the crowd.
And he is given forty days to return Princess Badrou'l-Boudour to the sultan.
ON THE THIRTY-FIFTH NIGHT
Sheherazade said:
And the king cried out, saying: “No, by Allah! We must treat him like thieves and liars! Let the guards go and bring him to me loaded with chains"
Immediately the grand vizier went out to communicate the sultan's order to the chief of the guards, instructing him how he should go about it so that Aladdin did not succeed in escaping them. And the chief of the guards, accompanied by a hundred horsemen, went out of the city on the way by which Aladdin was to return, and met him five parasangs from the gates. And he immediately had him surrounded by the horsemen, and said to him: “Emir Aladdin, O our master, excuse us, please! but the sultan, whose slaves we are, has ordered us to arrest you and bring you into his hands, laden with chains, like criminals! And we cannot disobey a royal order! But, once again, excuse us for treating you like this, after we have all been drowned in your generosity! »
At these words of the chief of the guards, the tongue of Aladdin. bonded with surprise and emotion. But he finally was able to speak, and said: “O good people, do you at least know for what reason the Sultan gave you such an order when I am innocent of any crime against him or against the State!" And the chief of the guards answered: “By Allah! We do not know it!" Then Aladdin dismounted from his horse, and said: "Do with me what the sultan has commanded you! for the sultan's orders are on the head and on the eye!" And the guards seized, but very reluctantly, Aladdin, bound his arms, passed a very large and heavy chain around his neck, which they also wrapped around the middle of his body, and dragged him towards the city by the end of this chain, making it follow on foot, while they continued their journey on horseback.
When the guards arrived at the first outskirts of the city, the passers-by who saw Aladdin treated in this way had no doubt that the sultan, for a cause unknown to them, was about to have his head cut off. And as Aladdin, by his generosity and affability, had won the affection of all the subjects of the kingdom, those who saw him hastened to march after him, arming themselves some with sabers, others with clubs. others with stones and sticks. And their number increased as the procession approached the palace so that when they reached the square of the maidan they had become thousands and thousands. And all shouted and protested, brandishing their weapons and threatening the guards who had the greatest difficulty in containing them and entering the palace without being mistreated. And, while they continued to vociferate and howl on the maidan, demanding that their master Aladdin be returned to them safe and sound, the guards ushered Aladdin, still laden with chains, into the room where, sitting in his anger and his anxiety, the sultan awaited him.
Now, as soon as Aladdin was in his presence, the sultan, seized with unimaginable fury, did not even take the time to ask him what had become of the palace which contained his daughter Badrou'l-Budour, and shouted to the sword-holder: "Immediately cut off the head of this cursed impostor!" And he would neither hear nor see him a moment longer. And the sword bearer took Aladdin to the terrace overlooking the maidan where the tumultuous crowd was gathered, made Aladdin kneel on the red leather of the executions, and after blindfolding him, took off the chain he had around his neck. and around the body, and said to him: "Make your act of faith, before you die!" And he prepared to give him the blow of death, turning three times around him and flashing the saber three times in the air. But, at this precise moment, the crowd, seeing that the sword-bearer was about to execute Aladdin, proceeded, with terrible cries, to scale the walls of the palace and force the gates. And the sultan saw this, and, fearing some fatal event, he was seized with great terror. And he turned to the sword-bearer and said to him: “Postpone, for the moment, cutting off the head of this criminal!" And he said to the chief of the guards: "Make the people shout that I grant them the grace of the blood of this cursed one!" And the order immediately shouted from the top of the terraces, calmed the tumult and the fury of the crowd, and made those who forced the gates and those who scaled the walls of the palace abandon their design.
Then Aladdin, to whom care had been taken to openly remove the blindfold from his eyes, and whose hands had been undone behind his back, got up from the leather of the executions where he was kneeling, and raised his head towards the sultan, and, with tears in his eyes, he asked him: “O great king, I beg Your Highness to tell me only what crime I could have committed to incur your wrath and this disgrace!" And the sultan, very yellow in complexion and in a voice full of restrained anger, said to him: “Your crime, wretch? Are you pretending to ignore it? But you will no longer pretend when I have shown it to you with your eyes!" And he cried out to him: "Follow me!" " And he walked in front of him, and led him to the other end of the palace, on the side of the second maidan, where the palace of Badrou'l-Budour once stood surrounded by its gardens, and said to him: "Look through this window, and tell me, since you must know it, what has become of the palace which contained my daughter?" And Aladdin put his head out the window and looked. And he saw neither palace, nor garden, nor trace of palace or garden, but the immense empty maidan such as it was on the day when he had given the order to the genie of the lamp to build the wonderful home. And he was in such amazement and such pain and such shock that he was about to pass out. And he couldn't utter a single word. And the sultan cried out to him, “Well, accursed impostor, where is the palace and where is my daughter, the core of my heart, my only child?" And Aladdin sighed heavily and burst into tears; then he said, “O great king, I do not know!" And the sultan said to him: “Listen to me carefully! I don't want to ask you to return your accursed palace, but I order you to return my daughter to me. And if you don't do it right now, or if you don't want to tell me what's become of her, by my head! I'll have your head cut off!" And Aladdin, bordering on emotional, looked down and thought for a long time. Then he raised his head and said: “O great king, no one escapes his destiny. And if my destiny is to have my head cut off for a crime I did not commit, no power can save me! I only ask you, before I die, forty days to do the necessary research on the subject of my beloved wife, who disappeared with the palace while I was hunting, and without my being able to doubt how this calamity occurred, I swear it to you by the truth of our faith and the merits of our Lord Mohammad (upon him prayers and peace!)" And the sultan replied: "Be it, I will grant what you ask of me. But know that, this time passed, nothing can save you from my hands, if you do not bring my daughter back to me! Because, in any place of the earth where you can hide, I will know how to reach it and punish you!" And Aladdin, at these words, left the presence of the sultan and, with his head bowed, he crossed the palace, in the midst of the dignitaries who had difficulty in recognizing him, so suddenly changed was he by emotion and pain. And he arrived in the middle of the crowd and began to ask, with haggard eyes: “Where is my palace? Where is my wife?" And all who saw him and heard him said to themselves: “Poor man! he has lost his mind! It was the sultan's disgrace and the sight of death that drove him mad!" And Aladdin, seeing that he was nothing more than an object of compassion for everyone, quickly walked away, without anyone having the heart to follow him. And he went out of the city, and began to wander, not knowing what he was doing, through the countryside...

I see the Sultan is not a wise man and hasty in his decisions. If he beheads Aladdin, how does he hope to get his daughter back? A smart ruler would instead question Aladdin and get to the bottom of how he built the palace in one day. So tracing the whereabouts of the palace would be easy.
This chapter is full of drama and suspense. I feel terribly sorry for Aladdin. His display of emotions after he was taken to the palace gardens and shown the empty land where his palace formerly stood is touching. Everything that he values: wife, properties, and lamp are gone! Now I remember his mother! She lives in the palace too but the story does not reveal whether she saw the Maghrebi or not. That's a mystery.
Aladdin's generosity saved him! This shows it pays to be kind to others. If he had not given freely to the people, he wouldn't have their support and would most likely be dead as soon as he was seized by the chief of the guards. I wonder how he hopes to get back all his losses in forty days. If the children that mocked the Maghrebi could drop the hint about the lamp seller parading around the palace, the information may help Aladdin so he'll know where to focus his search. Well, I look forward to the next chapter. Thank you very much for this adventurous story! 😊😊
In a moment of crisis, poor person saved Aladdin's life, verifying the saying "helping others is helping oneself." When we help others, we not only improve their lives, but also increase our own quality of life and sense of happiness to some extent.
By helping others, we can expand our social circle and build stronger relationships with others. When we help others, we can establish new connections and trust with them, which can bring us more opportunities and resources, and also allow us to receive support and care from others when we need it.
Helping others is not only a kind act, but it can also have positive effects on ourselves. Therefore, in situations where we are capable, helping others as much as possible is a commendable behavior.
Today's part was the long one, containing 1651 words ;) I love reading it as it was full of emotions from the Sultan, and the people who fell in love with the Aladdin for his kindness and love he showed to these people .
As Sultan Loves her daughter so much, His emotions were real, His daily visits to the palace shows the affection and love he had for her daughter, When he couldn't found the princess and the palace, Looking for the Aladdin who was husband of His daughter and should be held responsible anything happened to the Sultan's Daughter.
Some may say that, sultan was very kind to Aladdin when he was sending him precious gifts and now he is not able to locate his daughter, his behavior changed completed. He shouldn't act like this to the Aladdin, he should have behaved with him normally and asked him about his daughter. But for me his reaction was natural and totally justify it.
As for as Alladin Lover ;) I think the love people have shown to towards him is remarkable, it is the result of his pure love for the people of the city. They are about to challenge the Sultan decision by raising the voice for alladin.
Gladly sultan has listen to the people and he did what , every good sultan should do, postponed the death sentence and gave the 40 days Alladin asked to search for his Wife.
But now Alladin had to do a lot of research to reach to the Maghrabi, as he don't have any clue that this work is done by his rival Maghrabi. It will be interesting to see how he will proceed. I think he will take the help of the kids living in the area.
Not quite. 😃
In this part of the story, I really feel sorry for Aladdin. Because he lost everything in an instant. All the dreams that he built and came true also easily disappeared from him like a bubble. How do you get through this if you're Aladdin? Even the people in the city do not know how this misfortune happened. It seems that no one can help Aladdin at this moment but himself.
That makes me wonder, is there really no one who can help Aladdin? With so many people he has helped, is there no one to support him in times of need? Yes, people did save him so he wouldn't be beheaded, but is that all there is to it? Will there be no one else to extend help for Aladdin to find the answer to the question of where the palace and the Princess went? This is the reason why I feel sorry for Aladdin because, at this point in his life, he seems to be alone. He is alone in this despair.
I think many can relate to this part of the story because in our lives there are times when we face challenges in life. Each of us will have a challenge in life that seems impossible to overcome. This is the challenge that we are about to give up because it is so hard. This is the challenge that will destroy our confidence and destroy our personality.
That's why I'm also in awe of Aladdin because he doesn't seem to have any intention of giving up. He still wants to fight. He still wants to find his wife, the Princess, and save her no matter what happened to her.
So, the question in my mind is how can he do this and what is his plan to find the Princess? And why 40 days? Since the lamp is no longer in his hand, how can he resist the power that Maghrebi has? Those are the questions that we will find answers to in the next parts of the story.
Once again, thank you @vcelier for continuously producing these great translations. Have a great day!
"If anyone remembers, I told that which people Aladdin helped have now become his army and Aladdin's army will help him too".
I said this because we know that no one's hard work goes in vain, he way the Sultan captured Aladdin and humiliated him in front of the entire village by chaining him up and inviting Aladdin to his palace to punish him was very embarrassing. I think the Sultan should have heard Aladdin's position before doing this, but if I look at the place of a father, Sultan did what any father would do.
They say that good deeds never go in vain. As I mentioned above, the people whom Aladdin did good to in his good time, today those same people came in handy for him and he was saved from the hardship in which he was about to be hanged. Saved from it. A very difficult time has come upon Aladdin, he doesn't even know what he has to do, the Sultan has given him forty days time, but he doesn't know what he will do next, he doesn't even know that. What is the point of all this?
Now that he has been released by the Sultan and given forty days time, now he has to see within forty days how he can reach the magician (Maghrabi) and how he can get his wife and his palace and his lamp and all these things. How does he take it and how does he deal with it when he doesn't even have any power anymore. I think Aladdin should have taken the help of the Sultan, he could have taken the help of the Sultan in the form of an army of horses of weapons, which would have been very useful to him.
Well, he didn't do anything like that, maybe he went ahead and went to the Sultan for help, and maybe the Sultan would help him, because without any help, it is very difficult to do this work on the head of Aladdin in alone. So much we all know that he will do it within forty days but now it is just to see how he does it....
He will have help, but I don't think you know from whom.
Yeah you are right, I don't know but it's good because I like suspense/twist in movies/stories.
Aladdin is falsely accused and treated like a criminal. The sultan's order to treat Aladdin like a thief and liar, despite his innocence, shows the abuse of power and the flawed nature of justice in the ruling class. Aladdin's response, accepting his fate and submitting to the sultan's order, shows his humility and respect for authority, even when it is unjust. Isn't it interesting how same affairs are in trend still today?
A father would do anything for his child and the hurt of losing her or him doesn't have any limits. The reaction of the Sultan is understandable and I am glad that he granted Aladdin the chance to find out the truth about what happened and recoup his wife, the Princess. This is the challenge that awaited Aladdin on every corner and now it is the time for him to prove himself as the man he has become.
The Sultan seems desperate for the loss of his beloved daughter. But Aladdin has won the favor of the people and as any ruler knows, the power of a revolt should not be underestimated.
Aladdin has lost his power and with him his wealth, what will he do now to convince the Sultan of his innocence and get his forgiveness?
Every Father would act the same way as Sultan did for his only child... Seeing crowd in favor of Aladdin I can say this might become thread for sultan in future and more problem for Aladdin.
The whole time reading this I was curiously waiting for the part to know where palace and her daughter is and what happened... Hopefully In next chapter we'll find out and Aladin will be from this trial!!
When a father sees his daughter lost, he cannot contain the feelings of pain and hatred, the only thing he wanted was for Alladin to die, since believing that his daughter had lost, he did not care about anything else. We will see how Alldin will do to recover his beloved wife...
Well, well, well... the truth never escapes and the destiny catches you sooner or later. The Sultan wanted to kill Aladdin from impulse for his daughter disappearance, but luckily with the help of the people Aladdin earned 40 days to find out about what happened. Negligence is what got him here and also the fact that he had a secret for his becoming instead of playing it truthfully.
Aladdin was devastated when he learned that the princess had gone missing. Hopefully he can pull himself together and rescue her.
Alladin's generosity mobilized all the people of the town, knowing that he is a generous man, he was always helping poor people, giving them food and money, distributing their wealth, that helped Alladin his big heart.
But I imagine the father of the bride, despite the fact that he did not let Alldin speak at first, his rage and pain blinded him from asking for Alladin's head, even knowing that this would not bring his daughter back, he was only blinded by hatred and sadness.
But the Sultan was amazed by the great fear of the crowd, he knew that Alldin would kill an entire kingdom that would rush towards him, since the love that the people showed him would save him.
Now Alldino has 40 days to get his beloved, but without a clue as to what happened, because everything that was in the palace disappeared...
How could Alladin get to the princess, knowing that the evil one was that she took everything from him.
