This concept examines the ethical principle of 'Hilm' (forbearance) and 'Setr-e 'Ayb' (covering the faults of others) as illustrated in Sanai's Hadiqat al-Haqiqah. Through the story of King Nushirvan and the stolen cup, Sanai argues that a ruler's greatness is defined by their ability to maintain silence and overlook the transgressions of their subjects. This practice is presented as superior to reactive punishment, emphasizing that protecting the dignity of a 'guilty' individual is a higher manifestation of justice and self-control.
