This tale from Jami's Baharestan satirizes the complicity of a tyrant's vizier in seizing the estate of the deceased. When a wealthy man dies, the vizier interrogates his son and, under the pretext of a fair division, confiscates half the inheritance for the king while leaving the other half to the heir. The closing verses turn on a bitter irony: a vizier steeped in oppression knows nothing but the king's supposed claim over an orphan's property; he would show real justice (adl) only by taking none of it, and mere favor (fazl) by taking half. The allegory exposes how despotic administration cloaks the exploitation of the vulnerable in the language of equity, making it a negative counterpart to tales that defend orphans' rights.
