In Section 23 of the Mosibat Nameh, Attar presents a tale where Bu Muhammad Ibn Khazin defends the art of poetry during a gathering of learned individuals. He argues that poetry is the 'best of things' (احسن الاشیا) because it possesses the unique power to make falsehood (کذب) appear beautiful and enduring. This section engages with the classical Islamic literary debate surrounding the idea that 'the best poetry is the most deceitful' (احسن الشعر اکذب��), suggesting that poetry's formal and rhythmic beauty justifies its imaginative and hyperbolic liberties.
