Aladdin's helper (5)
I believe the answer is:
genie
'aladdin's helper' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for genie that I've seen before include "Magical Eastern spirit with strange powers" , "Spirit in a bottle" , "Arabian goblin, may be in a bottle" , "Arabian jinn or spirit" , "Obedient spirit of Arabian folklore" .)
