The fisherman and the Jinni

There was a fisherman who casts his net 4 times a day, one day he goes to the shore to casts his net.
First, he catches a dead donkey, then the second casts he gets the pitcher full of dirt, then the
third try he catch a broken pieces of pottery and glass. Then the fourth casts his final cast try, he
calls upon the name of Allah and casts his final try, when he pulls the net, he found out that there
was copper jar within it with a cap that label a seal named by lord Sulaiman, son of Daud. When
the fisherman found it, he became happy due to fact that he can sell it to a good price. When he
holds the jar, he tried to remove the seal because of curiosity, when he opens bottle, it came out
of nowhere a plume of smoke that comes to the tube of the jar that form into an ifrit.
The fisherman became frightened due to the ifrit appearance, but as for the jinni’s perspective he
didn’t see the fisherman because he prioritizes his surrounding due to Sulaiman is trying to kill
him. When the fisherman tells him that Sulainman had been dead for many centuries, Jinni
surprise and overjoyed and tell the fisherman that he will grant the fisherman his death.
The fisherman surprise to what he tells him by jinni, but he explains him about what happened for
the first hundred years of his chamber inside the bottle, at first, he swore to the person who freed
him will be wealthy forever. For the second century within the chamber, he swore to someone
that will free him will be granted a great wealth, but no one response to his exchange. And after
another century, he swore to someone that freed him three (3) wishes that will come true, yet no
one tried to help him. After four hundred years of imprisonment, the jinni became enraged and
swore to a person that free him will be granted an execution by him.
When the fisherman heard all the story of the Jinni, the fisherman begs for his life but the jinni’s
refuse to what he tells him by the fisherman and proceed to killing the fisherman. Then the
fisherman has no choice but to try to trick the Jinni, asking how he gets in the bottle and the jinni
show it and exhibit by action. When the fisherman has an opportunity by letting the jinni stuck in
the bottle, he hurriedly closes the bottle and seal it like exactly how he sees it before the jinni
didn’t show up, then threatens the jinni to bring him back to the sea and telling him he will never
go back forever. When the jinni heard it, he immediately begs and begin to tell a story about the
Wazir and king Yunan and Rayyan the doctor to reason why the jinni should spared him.
