PRAISE BE TO GOD. I HAVE FULL SATISFACTION THAT GOD IS MY WITNESS This book gives the genealogy of the descendants of the Apostle of God who came into Magindanao. It is learned that the Apostle of God begot Patima Zuhrah, who begot Sarip [7] Hasan and Sarip Husayn. The latter begot Sarip Zayna-l-Abidin; Sarip Mohammadu-l-Bakir; Sarip Japar Sadik; Sarip Ali; Sarip Isa; Sarip Akmad; Sarip Abdu-l-Lah; Sarip Mohammad Alawi; Sarip Ali; Sarip Alawi; Sarip Abdu-l-Lah; Sarip Ali; Sarip Mohammad; Sarip Abdu-l-Lah; Sarip Akmad; Sarip Ali Zayna-l-Abidin. Sarip Zayna-l-Abidin came to Juhur and heard that the sultan of Juhur, Sultan Sulkarnayn, had a daughter called Putri Jusul Asikin. The Sarip married Putri Jusul Asikin and begot Sarip Kabungsuwan. As Sarip Kubungsuwan grew up and reached maturity he obtained his father's permission and set out on a sea voyage with a large number of followers from Juhur. As they got out to the open sea they unfurled their sails to make speed, but a very strong wind blew and scattered them in all directions, so that they lost track of one another. As a result Sarip Kabungsuwan arrived at Magindanao. The others scattered to Bulunay (Bruney), Kuran, Tampasuk, Sandakan, Palimbang, Bangjar, Sulug, Tubuk, and Malabang. Sarip Kabungsuwan anchored at Natúbakan, at the mouth of the Rio Grande. Tabunaway and Mamalu directed some people of Magindanao to carry their net for them and went down to the mouth of the river. There they met Sarip Kabungsuwan, and Tabunaway sent Mamalu up the river to bring down all the men of Magindanao. After the arrival of the men Tabunaway invited Kabungsuwan to accompany him to Magindanao. Kabungsuwan refused to accompany them unless they became Moslems. Tabunaway and Mamalu then repeated their invitation and all of them promised to become Moslems. Kabungsuwan insisted that he would not land at all unless they came together then and there and were washed and became Mohammedans. This they did, and on account of the bathing at that place they changed its name to Paygwan. Kabungsuwan then accompanied Tabunaway and Mamalu, and the men towed them up all the way from Tinundan to Magindanao. Thus Kabungsuwan converted to Islam all the people of Magindanao, Matampay, Slangan, Simway, and Katitwan. Soon after his arrival in Magindanao Sarip Kabungsuwan married Putri Tunina, whom Mamalu found inside a stalk of bamboo. This occurred at the time Tabunaway and Mamalu were cutting bamboo to build their fish corral. As Mamalu, who was felling the bamboo tree returned, Tabunaway inquired whether all the tree was felled or not. Mamalu answered that all the tree was felled except one young stalk. Tabunaway then said, "Finish it all, because it omens ill to our fish corral to leave that one alone." Mamalu struck it and it fell down, and there came out of it a child who was called Putri Tunina. Her little finger was wounded, for the bolo had cut through the bamboo.
