Abudah, in the Tales of the Genii, by H. Ridley, is a wealthy merchant of Bagdad, who goes in quest of the talisman of Oromanes, which he is driven to seek by a little old hag, who haunts him every night and makes his life wretched. He finds at last that the talisman which is to free him of this hag [conscience] is to "fear God and keep His commandments."

Abudah, in the drama called The Siege of Damascus, by John Hughes (1720), is the next in command to Caled in the Arabian army set down before Damascus. Though undoubtedly brave, he prefers peace to war; and when, at the death of Caled, he succeeds to the chief command, he makes peace with the Syrians on honourable terms.

Abudah. A wealthy merchant of Bagdad who figures in the "Tale of the Genii," by H. Ridley. He meets with various remarkable adventures in his quest for the talisman of Oromanes, which he is driven to seek by the threats of a little old hag who haunts him nightly, and makes his life miserable. He finds at last that the inestimable talisman is--to obey God and to love his commandments; and he finds also that all his wonderful experiences have been but the baseless fabric of a dream.

Like Abudah, in the Arabian story, he is always looking out for the Fury, and knows that the night will come, and the inevitable hag with it.
