the oil man and the butcher

अकबर-बीरबल की कहानी: तेली और कसाई (Akbar-Birbal Tale: The Oil Man And The Butcher)

बादशाह अकबर (Akbar) का दरबार लगा हुआ था. तभी दरबान ने सूचना दी कि दो व्यक्ति अपने झगड़े का निपटारा करवाने के लिए आना चाहते हैं. बादशाह ने दोनों को बुलवा लिया. दोनों दरबार में आ गए और बादशाह के सामने सिर झुकाकर खड़े हो गए.

बादशाह ने पूछा कि कहो क्या समस्या है?

मेरा नाम काशी है, मैं तेल बेचने का काम करता हूं और हुजूर यह कसाई है. इसने मेरी से तेल खरीदा और साथ में मेरी पैसों की भरी थैली भी ले गया. जब मैंने इसे पकड़ा और अपनी थैली मांगी तो यह उसे अपनी बताने लगा, अब आप ही न्याय करें.

बादशाह ने दूसरे व्यक्ति से पूछा कि अब तुम कहो तुम्हें क्या कहना है?

कसाई से कहा- मेरा नाम रमजान है. जब मैंने अपनी दुकान पर आज मांस की बिक्री के पैसे गिनकर थैली जैसे ही उठाई, यह तेली आ गया और मुझसे यह थैली छीन ली. अब उस पर अपना हक जमा रहा है. आप ही न्याय करें.

राजा को समझ में नहीं आ रहा था कि दोनों में से कौन सच बोल रहा है और कौन झूठ. दोनों की बातें सुनकर बादशाह सोच में पड़ गए और उन्होंने बीरबल से फैसला करने को कहा.

बीरबल ने वो पैसों की थैली ले ली और दोनों को कुछ देर के लिए बाहर भेज दिया. बीरबल ने सेवक से एक कटोरे में पानी मंगवाया और उस थैली में से कुछ सिक्के निकालकर पानी में डाले और पानी को गौर से देखा. फिर बादशाह से कहा- ये सिक्के रमजान कसाई के हैं.

बादशाह ने हैरान होकर पूछा कि भला बीरबल को कैसे पता चला?

बीरबल ने बादशाह को समझाया कि काशी एक तेली है, लेकिन इस पानी में सिक्के डालने से तेल का ज़रा-सा भी अंश पानी में नहीं उभर रहा है. अगर यह सिक्के तेली के होते तो उन पर तेल लगा होता और वह तेल पानी में भी दिखाई देता.

बादशाह ने भी पानी को गौर से देखा और फिर बीरबल की बात से सहमत हो गए.

बीरबल ने उन दोनों को दरबार में बुलाया और कहा- मुझे पता चल गया है कि यह थैली किसकी है. यह थैली रमजान कसाई की है. काशी, तुम झूठ बोल रहे हो.

बीरबल ने सिक्के डले पानी वाला कटोरा उसे दिखाते हुए कहा- यदि यह थैली तुम्हारी है तो इन सिक्कों पर कुछ-न-कुछ तेल अवश्य होना चाहिए, पर तुम भी देख लो तेल तो अंश मात्र भी नज़र नहीं आ रहा है.

काशी चुप हो गया और अपनी ग़लती उसने मान ली.

बीरबल ने रमजान कसाई को उसकी थैली दे दी और काशी को कारागार में डलवा दिया.
