An interpretive concept distilled from the Baharestan anecdote in which a captured rebel woman refuses to look at or answer Hajjaj, saying that she is ashamed before God to behold a man upon whom God Himself casts no gaze. The passage frames the withdrawal of God's merciful gaze as the defining mark of the oppressor, and the act of averting one's eyes as a refusal to dignify God-forsaken tyranny. The accompanying verse likens the tyrant's face to an open door of Hell, teaching that spiritual non-recognition — rather than fear or flattery — is the righteous response to unjust power.
