IN THE NAME OF GOD THE COMPASSIONATE AND MERCIFUL. PRAISE BE TO
GOD THE LORD OF THE UNIVERSE. I HAVE FULL SATISFACTION THAT GOD
IS MY WITNESS
This book speaks of the origin of the rulers of Magindanao. The first
known rulers were Tabunaway and his brother Mamalu. One day they were
cutting bamboo to build a fish corral. Mamalu cut down all the trees
except one small stalk that was left standing alone. Tabunaway then
called to Mamalu, "Finish it up, because it omens ill to our fish
corral." Mamalu therefore cut it and found in it a girl whose little
finger was slightly cut by a slip of the bolo. He carried the girl
to Tabunaway, but Tabunaway told him to keep her and adopt her as
his child. This girl was named by Tabunaway Putri Tunina.
On the other hand, there came out from Mecca Sharif Ali Zayna-l-Abidin,
who proceeded to Bawangin (Malaysia) and settled at Juhur. Here
he married the daughter of Sultan Iskandar Thul-Qarnayn of Juhur,
whose name was Jusul Asiqin, and begot Sharif Kabungsuwan. Sharif
Kabungsuwan came to Magindanao to the mouth of the Tinundan. There
he met Tabunaway and accompanied him to the town of Magindanao. This
is Sharif Kabungsuwan, who converted to Islam all the people of
Magindanao, Slangan, Matampay, Lusud, Katittwan, and Simway, and who
was followed by all those who accepted Islam in the land of Magindanao.
And it came to pass that Tabunaway married Sharif Kabungsuwan to
the girl that was found inside the bamboo stalk, whose name was
Putri Tunina. To them were born three daughters--Putri Mamur, who
married Malang-sa-Ingud, an older brother of Pulwa; Putri Milagandi,
who married Pulwa, the datu of Bwayan; and Putri Bay Batula, who had
no children.
Later Sharif Kabungsuwan married Angintabu, the daughter of Maka-apun,
a coast datu of Malabang, and begot Sharif Maka-alang.
Sharif Maka-alang married Buli, a Bilan woman who was found by Parasab
in a crow's egg. There were born to them a boy called Bangkaya and
a girl called Maginut.
