The king Harun ar - Rashid was very happy because his hen laid an egg. Hence, the king held a prize contest for his people soon. The prize contest consists of an easy question but it needed a right answer. The question was “which is the first between egg and hen in creating?” And who could answer it they would get a very interesting prize. But, if they couldn’t do it they would get a hard punishment.
The participants were four people. Most of them were the poor. One of them was Abu Nawas.
There were two roles in this contest. Firstly, the answers had to be rational. Secondly, the participants had to be able to answer the king’s rebuttal.
Finally, all of the participants couldn’t answer the question except Abu Nawas. He could answer it easily without any rebuttal from the king. He said that an egg was created at the first time before a hen because the hen could know the egg, and the egg didn’t know the hen.
