Abu nasyr al- farabi

2. The story of Al- Farabi in India
Al- Farabi (870-950 AD) was a great philosopher and musician from Turkestan / aut. the present Shymkent region of Kazakhstan / who invented a musical instrument called Eve / English. Quanun . He is known to have traveled to parts in May of the world, always taking a disguise so as not to be recognized. One day, when he was in India, he appeared in the throne room of the court of the great King Suffudin , one of the most knowledgeable people in India, dressed as a private in the King’s own army. The king was very surprised to see the private position in his royal room, and demanded a private one in order to tell him what he was doing there.
"Where you belong, private," he demanded.
“Well, I belong there, on the throne, where you are now sitting!” Private exclaimed, going to the throne and sitting on the edge. He then began to push his weight against the king, pushing him aside until each occupied half of the throne.

The king was very angry and turned to one of his guards and began to speak a very obscure language so that others could not understand him. He said that the guard "This person must or be a fanatic, otherwise he is someone very amazing. I will ask him some questions, and see which case this may be.

The king turned to Al- Farabi to ask his question; However, before he could open his mouth, Al- Farabi spoke to him in the same obscure language and said, “But to the king, why will you worry?

At this point (point), the king and Al- Farabi began a long philosophical debate that lasted several hours. Point (point) point (point), the arguments (disputes) of the king were defeated, and since the most knowledgeable people in India were brought to contribute to the debate, one by one they were defeated. Finally, the king, graciously, accepted his defeat and told Al- Farabi that he would willingly give him, in general, he wanted. Al- Farabi said he did not want anything. So the King ordered his beautiful court musicians, who were the best in the land, to play for, now awarded, guest.

When the musicians began to play, Al- Farabi stopped them and corrected their intonation and their interpretation of ragas . Then he demanded that the musicians re-play the music correctly. It continued to meet, every time the musicians tried to play and after a while, the king dismissed the musicians. He then told Al- Farabi that, as he treated his musicians in such a manner, he must prove his own musical ability.
Al- Farabi pulled three little reeds from his pocket and began to play a high, happy tune that, when played many times, made everyone in the courtroom, including the king, break out in laughter. Finally, everyone in court, including the king, rolled on their sides in fits of laughter uncontrollable. Suddenly, Al- Farabi stopped the tune, and began to play another, slow, mournful, which put everyone to sleep, and when every person in the room (place), except Al- Farabi , slept soundly in their chairs or on the floor (floor), Al- Farabi calmly did not slip out of the room (place) of the throne, never to be seen there again
