Known along with Ali Baba as one of the "orphan tales", the story was not part of the original Nights collection and has no authentic Arabic textual source, but was incorporated into the book Les mille et une nuits by its French translator, Antoine Galland.

The story is often retold with variations. The following is a précis of the Burton translation of 1885. Aladdin is an impoverished young ne'er-do-well, dwelling in "one of the cities of Ancient China.
