Caliph Haroon-ur-Rasheed was
a wise Muslim king of Baghdad. One day when he was holding court, Qazi of
the city brought a disputed case before him. In fact two
persons claimed the same horse. One of them was a beggar while other was
a rich man. Qazi was unable to decide the case, so he brought it before
the caliph for decision.
Caliph Haroon-ur-Rasheed
asked the rich man for presenting facts. The rich
man told him that, while he was riding to the city on the horse, the
lame fellow made a request to him for lift up to the city gate. When they
reached the city gate, the beggar refused to get down
and claimed that horse was his.
Then the beggar told his
story. He said that, as he was riding his horse to the city that
morning, the rich man tried to borrow his horse. As he was stranger
for him, so he could not lend him his horse, but gave him ride up to the
city gate. On reaching the city gate rich man refused to get down
and claimed that horse was his.
Caliph Haroon-ur-Rasheed
asked both of them to touch the horse, one by one. At first the beggar
touched the horse. On his touch it winced, the horse expressed its
pleasure by neighing when the rich man touches it. The caliph gave his
decision that horse belonged to rich man.
