In Section 112 of the first book of Silsilat al-Dhahab (from the Haft Awrang), Jami presents a sharp critique of antinomianism (ibahah) and superficial spiritual hypocrisy.

He denounces individuals who claim to follow Sufism or spiritual paths but reduce religion solely to a policy of 'non-harmfulness' (kam-azari), using it to justify discarding religious law (Sharia) and ethical boundaries. Jami argues that this attitude is not true spiritual poverty (darvishi) but heresy (zandagah). He compares these individuals to hollow walnuts—appealing on the outside but empty of substance inside. They memorize and fluently recite mystical terminology without possessing any genuine spiritual realization, converting outward piety into a mask for self-indulgence and libertinism.
