"Umm Ali and Abu Ali", a Story in the Hamza Aqrabawi Collection

Titled "Umm Ali and Abu Ali", this document shows a story about the couple, Asfour and Jarada, and the wife's wit in gaining a living, as she convinces her husband to pretend to read the Holy Qur'an at the graveyard even though he is illiterate, so that he gains alms and good deeds from praying for the souls of the dead.
