In Section 30 of the Haft Awrang (Silsilat al-Dhahab), Jami presents a profound moral discourse condemning miserliness (buxl). He employs vivid metaphors to illustrate how miserliness limits a ruler and harms the soul. First, Jami compares miserliness to a lock on the king's treasury, arguing that a tight fist is unworthy of the royal station, as the true wealth of a king lies in his state's spiritual and temporal prosperity rather than hoarded coins. Second, Jami describes miserliness as a thorny palm tree (nakhl-i buxl): its harvest is entirely thorns that wound the weary, its fruit is harder than an anvil, and even if a figure as holy as Mary were to shake it, it would shower only stones of tyranny. Jami also likens its sweet offerings to a sting that wounds the hearts of the suffering. Through these powerful allegories, Jami warns the reader of the destructive, spiritually hardening, and socially toxic nature of greed and avarice.
