In this anecdote from Jami's Baharestan, the caliph Yazid raises Abdullah ibn Ja'far's yearly stipend from the public treasury from one thousand to five thousand dirhams. Blamed for favoring one man with funds belonging to all Muslims, Yazid answers that the gift in effect reaches all the needy of Medina, since Abdullah withholds nothing from those in want. A hidden observer sent with him confirms that Abdullah disperses the whole sum within a single month, until he himself must borrow. The story distills the Sufi-ethical ideal of jood (open-handed generosity): the truly generous person is merely a conduit through whom bounty flows onward to the poor, so that, as the closing verses put it, his purse of generosity becomes the treasury of the dervishes. This concept extracts the moral teaching of the excerpt, paralleling how other treasury-and-generosity tales in the corpus are summarized into a single ethical principle.
