These are stories from life, so named by their author, the Damascene scholar Ali Al-Tantawi, because life itself authored them. And does life write stories? Yes (as he says in the introduction): "Life composes stories that the most brilliant artists would fail to imagine, but it does not broadcast its 'works' or announce them. They remain as hidden 'manuscripts' that no one can reach or read except a man of sharp sight, long reach, and with the perseverance for research and patience for exploration."
