The '''Kalila wa-Dimna''' is a collection of fables based on the {{Wiki|Sanskirt}} text {{Wiki|Panchatantra}}, which was later translated into {{Wiki|Arabic}} by [[Iran|Persian]] philosoper and translator {{Wiki|Ibn al-Muqaffa'}}.<ref name="WP">{{WP|Kalīla wa-Dimna}}</ref>

In the 860s, the famed author [[Al-Jahiz]] sought to collect the book to add to his library in the [[House of Wisdom]]. The [[Hidden One]] [[Basim Ibn Ishaq]] found a copy of the book in a residence southwest of the Great Mosque and delivered it to him.<ref name="ACM">''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]]'' – [[Al-Jahiz's Lost Books]]</ref>

==Basim's description==
''My friend would tell me these when we wandered the streets looking for morsels to steal. He told me he had made them up! Only later did I realise that some people can recite these tales almost as readily as the Quran. My favorite tale is the one with the carpenter and the monkey and to me it teaches an important lesson about patience and walking before you run.''
