Hikayat Abu Samah

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hikayat Abu Samah is a text of Betawi literature adapted from Malay literature.[1] This manuscript is classified into Islamic legend because it originates from Islamic history.[2] This can be proven if you look at the characters and events in this manuscript that really existed and have happened, such as Ali, Uthman, and other Prophet Muhammad companions.[2] Manuscripts of Hikayat Abu Samah are stored in several places, such as National Museum of Indonesia stores 6 manuscripts, and Leiden University Library stores 4 manuscripts, School of Oriental and African Studies, and University of London Library stores 1 script.[1] One of the manuscripts which is now in the National Museum of Indonesia, was copied by Muhammad Cing Saidullah in 1823.[2]
