Description of manuscript content:
It tells the story of a woman named I Daramatasia, a deeply obedient and devoted wife. She was submissive to her husband and faithfully followed the commands of Allah SWT, avoiding all His prohibitions. One evening, while her husband, Syekh Ma’ruf, was having dinner, the oil lamp's wick suddenly went out. I Daramatasia did not want her husband to eat in darkness, so she cut her own hair and stood up to use it as a replacement wick for the lamp. When her husband realized what she had done, he became furious because I Daramatasia had stood up before he finished his meal and had cut her hair without his permission. As a result, she was cast out. After I Daramatasia left, her husband's life became miserable. In the end, I Daramatasia returned to her home and was reunited with her family.
