This tale from Jami's Haft Awrang dramatizes the just ruler's restraint over communal wealth. Moved at the Eid festival by his children appearing before him in worn clothing and lamenting their poverty, the caliph Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz first inclines to draw a month's expenses from the bayt al-mal (public treasury). His God-fearing servant, who serves as treasurer, counsels him that these funds belong to the community and may not be diverted to the ruler's family. The key lesson is twofold: the pious leader treats public property as a trust (amana) rather than personal wealth, and true greatness lies in humbly accepting sound advice even from a subordinate or slave. The story thus links the virtue of justice to concrete fiscal accountability and to the willingness to be corrected.
