This allegory in Attar's Mosibat Nameh recounts a counterfeiter (ghallab) who is captured by the king. To avoid tarnishing the sanctity of the dervish patchwork cloak (muraqqa'), he strips it off before receiving his punishment. The story emphasizes the themes of spiritual sincerity, self-honesty, and the moral responsibility of not using sacred garments of piety to cover up worldly transgressions.
