The poem is written in Hausa Ajami, using the <\/span><span>Maghribi writing style, and vocalized throughout.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><i>The Absolute Truth 1 (Tabbat Haqiqan 1)<\/i> is a treatise on upright living, with clear instructions for both leaders and common folk. It provides numerous examples of practices one should follow and others that should be avoided. Rulers are enjoined to act at all times with compassion, fairness, and honesty and to refrain from oppressive and self-aggrandizing behaviors. People are to follow [Muslim] leaders and show respect towards them, and to institutions such as the courts. The poet denounces violence, robbery, cheating, witchcraft, dishonesty and oppressive behaviors, noting that Hellfire will be the reward for such behaviors. The theme of fairness and compassion stretches from the household to the battlefield. Listeners are urged to seek knowledge and to follow the true path of Islam, abstaining from injustice in any form.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"F6F7FA\">\n<td>Genre<\/td>\n<td>Poetry<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Language<\/td>\n<td>Hausa<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"F6F7FA\">\n<td>Script<\/td>\n<td>Hausa Ajami<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Manuscript condition<\/td>\n<td><span>10 pages (pages 11-20). 17 x 21 cm. + front and back covers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Condition: Fully vocalized <\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"F6F7FA\">\n<td>Type<\/td>\n<td><span>Offset MS<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Publisher<\/td>\n<td>Shina Commercial Press<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"F6F7FA\">\n<td>Provenance<\/td>\n<td>Zaria, Nigeria<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Source Reference<\/td>\n<td><span>Nana Asma\u2019u, \u201cWa\u0199o\u0199in Nana Asma\u2019u\u201d (nd). <a href=\"https:\/\/search.library.northwestern.edu\/permalink\/f\/1m6lm5d\/01NWU_ALMA21500131380002441\">Courtesy of Northwestern University Libraries<\/a>. <\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"F6F7FA\">\n<td>Access condition and copyright<\/td>\n<td>These materials are subject to copyright and are distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial 4.0 License, which permits non-commercial use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited.
