Wardan the Butcher and the Vizier's Daughter
After this frenzy of sexual activity, the story of Wardan the butcher ends much more quietly in marriage and happiness.
As this is a rather short end, we will start the beginning of the story of King Schahriar and his brother King Schahzaman, which will explain why Scheherazade has to tell King Schahriar tales night after night.
ON THE THIRD NIGHT
Scheherazade said:
And Wardan the butcher continued his story:
At the sight of the two eels, the old woman was on the verge of jubilation and exclaimed: “My son, give thanks to Allah! The effect of the remedy is produced! Know, indeed, that these two eels were the cause of the dissatisfaction of which you had complained to me. One of the eels was born from the copulation with the black man and the other from the copulation with the monkey. Now that they are out, this young woman will enjoy a moderate temper, and will no longer be tiresome and disorderly in her desires!"
And, indeed, I noticed that the girl, once returned to herself, no longer asked to satisfy her senses. And I found her so calm that I did not hesitate to ask her to marry me. She consented because she was used to me. And we lived together, since then, in the sweetest life and the most perfect delights, after having received in our house the old woman who had effected this stupefying cure and had taught us in this way the remedy for immoderate desires.
Glorified be the Living One who does not die and who holds empires and kingdoms in His hand!"
And Scheherazade continued, speaking to King Schahriar: “That, O fortunate King, is all I know about the remedy to be applied to women of too troublesome temperament! And King Schahriar said: “I would have liked to know this recipe, last year, to fumigate the cursed one that I had surprised in the garden with the black slave!”
The Story of King Schahriar and his brother King Schahzaman
Source
The book of the 1,001-night tales starts with the story of King Schahriar and his brother King Schahzaman. It will explain why Scheherazade told tales to King Schahriar for 1,001 nights.
In Persian:
- Shahriar means "Master of the City".
- Schahzaman means "Master of the Century or of the Time".
Part One
It is narrated — but Allah is wiser and more powerful and more beneficent — than there was — in what passed and presented itself in the antiquity of time and the past of the age and the moment — a king of the kings of Eranshahr, the Sasanian Empire, in Persia and India. He was the master of armies, auxiliaries, servants, and a large retinue. And he had two children: the older one was tall and the younger one was shorter. Both were heroic horsemen, but the tall one was a better rider than the short one. This tall one reigned over the countries and ruled with justice among men; also the inhabitants of the land and the kingdom loved him. His name was King Schahriar. As for his brother the short one, his name was King Schahzaman, and he was king of Samarkand Al-Ajam. This state of things not ceasing, they resided in their country; and each of them was, in his kingdom, just governor of his flock during the space of twenty years. And they were both on the verge of expansion and blossoming.
And they did not cease to be so until King Schahriar longed to see his brother King Schahzaman. So he ordered his vizier to leave and to come back with him. The vizier answered him: “I listen and I obey! »
Then he left and arrived safely by the grace of Allah: he entered the brother's house, gave him peace, and told him that King Schahriar was very eager to see him and that the purpose of this trip was to visit him and invite him to visit his brother. King Schahzaman answered him: “I listen and I obey! Then he made his preparations for departure and brought out his tents, his camels, his mules, his servants, and his auxiliaries. Then he made his vizier governor of the country and left to travel to his brother's lands.
To be continued...'

All well end well, this is famous quote that completely fits on the story of butcher and the daughter of vizier, though there were some shady things were going in this tale.
But in the end everything sorted out and butcher married the young girl and promised that he'll try his level best to full fill all the needs.
This shows that he was the man of good character. I appreciate his generosity.
As far as the new story concerns, the start is good and no doubt ALLAH is most beneficial and greater, he is one and he is the creator of this universe.As Muslim it is out believe that we'll die one day and will be present in front of him on the day of judgement.
We'll be punished for our bad sins and rewarded for our good deeds we are doing in this world.
I think 1001 tales writers have observed the Muslims and their rules and that is why this new tale is also about Muslim and their rules. I have heard the name of Samarkand in hindi movies.
Is this story is about the Mughal era? Because sub continental was ruled by Muslims for a long period of time.
No, it happened a long time before.
Got it , thanks for answering.
By reading this story, we get a lesson that there are still some good people in the world. As we have seen that the woman was forced and had to do a lot to eat and drink,
So the happy thing is that he married her and made her his wife and the relationship of husband and wife is very much. great and strong.
Even when I read the first part of it, I did not understand it, but later I understood it and today after reading the last part, I also understood the whole story.
In such stories, when the ending is good, one's heart is very happy and the way you have told a story now, it is a story of two brothers who are princes, this story is also going to be very interesting. This is a coming of the story.
It sounds exactly like what is happening in the world today. It sounds exactly like that to me. As we all know that the princes are very fond of horse riding and there is a similar scene in it now let's see which of the two is better.
I knew it! 😅 Just like I said in my last comment, I suspected Wardan likes the lady beyond just a physical attraction and may end up marrying her. What a satisfactory end to this riveting tale. It's a short chapter and I'm excited to see that you started another story.
I've always wondered why Scheherazade told stories to the king every night and the narration always lasted till the following morning. From the story of King Schahria and his brother, we will know more about this deal between the king and Scheherazade.
Two royal sons who are rulers of their kingdoms! This is an interesting detail. Are these brothers married or still bachelors? This chapter does not say what kind of relationship exists between them —whether they are friendly or see each other as competition. I look forward to knowing more about these two brothers and why King Schahria requests to see his brother. Thank you for these fascinating stories. 😊😊
I personally liked this story because it showed the ferocity within and brought it to an end and it was you, I really liked that this butcher married this woman to fulfill his needs.
And indeed, this gives us a lesson that when you see someone in trouble and he is not telling you his trouble with his mouth, then you should not ignore this thing, but you should find a solution to his/her problem.
This butcher helped the woman, he also benefited that he also got a woman, That is why they say that hard work is not wasted. Well this story has a happy ending too which I really liked.
And now that this story has been started, this story is also very interesting to me because as we all know that we humans getting more attracted to our history. I don't know about many people but there must be some people who are more influenced by such kingdom stories and movies.
It's just the beginning of the story so we don't know much except that King Schahriar and King Schahzaman are brother and heroic horsemen. And that the King Schahriar has called his brother Schahzaman who is also the King to meet him......
I am familiar with the story of Aladdin and the Magic Lamp from this work, as it was included in my country's primary school textbooks. However, I am not very familiar with the other stories in the collection.
From researching online, I found that the origins of this work can be traced back to the storytelling traditions of ancient Persia and India, where many of the stories and mythological legends were originally passed down orally. These stories were collected and written in Arabic, and became the original version of One Thousand and One Nights.
The earliest version of the work may have been composed during the 9th century Sasanian Empire in Persia, but the most well-known version that exists today was compiled by the Egyptian literary scholar Abdullah al-Ma'arri in the 14th century. He connected the scattered stories together using a framework story between a woman and an evil king, creating a literary classic that has endured until today.
I love the ending of Vizier's Daughter and Wardan's story. It is a happy and a heartwarming one haha. I am happy Vizier's Daughter got a permanent solution to her affliction in the end all thanks to Wardan's curiosity and the old woman's portion. It just reminded me that, sexual encounters are beyond the ordinary eyes and people who come into our lives either come with good things or bad things.
For the story of King Schahriar and his brother King Schahzaman, it gives a promise of an epic tale full of adventure, and complex relationships and I am curious as to how the brothers' reunion will impact their kingdoms. Waiting patiently for the next part let's see how Scheherazade came into the picture. Thank you for sharing! ☺️
Hahaha
I also has a feeling that the butcher was in love with the woman for him to even invite a magician for her in the last episode.
Also, it is always good to do good. It is good to believe in Allah because you will surely reap what you sow. If you do good, you will be rewarded. If you also do bad, you will get it. That is why it is good to be good.
Well, I love stories with happy ending. It was interesting!!!
The story raises important questions about the nature of desire and the role that social norms and expectations play in shaping our behavior. The fact that the young woman's desires are described as "troublesome" and "disorderly" suggests that they are not simply a natural expression of her innermost self, but are rather seen as a problem that needs to be fixed. This raises questions about how we define what is "normal" or "acceptable" in terms of human desire and behavior, and how these definitions are shaped by cultural and historical factors.
Wow, that was a quick and boring ending. That will sound like a lot of girls.🤣🤣🤣
Well accounts always have to end well so in this case everyone is happy, especially the butcher.
New stories arrive that will surely keep us all entertained for the next few days. Looking forward to reading more interesting stories.
Ah! Vizier's Daughter had a happy ending! I am suprised that her situation started with the first black man she had encounter with. That is a moral lesson there, unless one does want to read between the lines and understand the powerful message this story convey. Wardan came through for her which was satisfying for me to read. What a wonderful storytelling!
The Story of King Schahriar and his brother King Schahzaman is going to be an interesting one and different. Wonder how the family reunion will be like.
And so a new story begins with two brother kings, King Schahriar and King Schahzaman. Both rulers and expanding ventures, seem to have done well for them and their realms. The story is yet to reveal itself and let us anticipate the path that will follow, but until that happens next we will just see the reunion of brothers and what they intend to discuss.
The story of King Schahriar and his brother King Schahzaman describes a king named Schahriar, who ruled justly over his kingdom and was loved by his people. He had a younger brother named Schahzaman, who was also a king and ruled over Samarkand Al-Ajam. Both brothers were skilled horsemen, but Schahriar was better. After twenty years of ruling their respective kingdoms, Schahriar became eager to see his brother and sent his vizier to invite him to visit.
