A story from the Marzubannameh of al-Warawinī (13th century CE). Indebted to the translation of Reuben Levy and James Kritzeck's anthologizing efforts. Correction: def came from older stories and there are other versions of the work too.

Story from a Hadith of the Prophet about the heights of commitment to faith. 

18th century Turkish epic with possible older origins and certain older antecedants about Imam Ali battling a dragon. My translation is often quite literal, and its late in the fasting day, so please forgive the repetition of words. 

A story from Zanzibar in the 19th century and a tale from al-Mas`udī's (d.345 AH/ 956 CE) history sharing a motif! The former was recorded by Bishop Edward Steere. Wording of the later based on Claud Field's translation.

Episode 6 of the Ramadan blitz! This one is a classic but the original version is obscured. (Pic is painting by Maxfield Parrish! credits to wikipediaa)

This story is from my grandfather! Variants found in the recent موسوعة الرقائق والأدب and in Naestri Sastri's (d.1909 CE) Indian Tales. 

A tale from the the Maqāmāt of Badiuzzaman al-Hamdanī (d.485 AH/ 1008 CE). The original is quite literary arabic, so this is very boiled down and retold from memory.

Third entry in the Ramadan Blitz! A different kind of story about a very Muslim cat, as curated by the late Professor Simon Digby. 

Second entry in the Ramadan Blitz. A story about Umar (RA), a killer, and two brothers who lost their father. From Diyāb al-Itlidī's Nawādir al-Khulafah. 

First story in the Ramadan Blitz! A tale of justice from the Siyasetnameh of Nizam al-Mulk (d. 465 AH/1092 CE).
