In Section 6 (On the Parable) of Farid al-Din Attar's Mosibat Nameh, the story of Bahlool feeding the king's gift of food to a dog illustrates the spiritual impurity of wealth and favors obtained from unjust rulers. When criticized for disrespecting the king, Bahlool responds that if dogs knew the food's oppressive source, they would refuse it out of shame. The narrative highlights the Sufi rejection of tyrannical power and worldly patronages, suggesting that even animals possess an innate aversion to the fruits of injustice that covetous, superficial humans lack.
