بهارستان - روضهٔ ششم / Baharestan - The Sixth Garden (Rowze 6)

روضهٔ ششم / The Sixth Garden

The Sixth Garden (روضهٔ ششم) is one of the eight gardens (روضه) into which Jami divided his prose-and-verse work Baharestan. Each garden gathers a run of short anecdotes, every one closed with a few lines of verse that point its moral or its wit.

This garden collects sharp, humorous exchanges and pointed retorts — for example the trading of insults over shameful relatives between Mu'awiya and Aqil ibn Abi Talib (Section 19), the unmasking of a false claimant to Alid lineage (Section 21), and the caliph rebuked by the Bedouin at the table (Section 22).

Structurally it sits between the whole Baharestan collection and its individual numbered sections, so that learners can meet Rowze 6 as one coherent thematic chapter before working through its component tales.
