In Section 32 of Haft Awrang (Silsilat al-Dhahab), Jami presents almsgiving (zakat) as simultaneously the source of growth for wealth and the means of cleansing the soul of miserly thoughts. He images the miser's clenched fist as a prison in which coins (dirham) are held captive, with the fingers as their chains, and urges the seeker to open his hand generously like benefactors to free these imprisoned coins. Jami argues that money is minted round (gerd) precisely so that it may circulate (gardesh), passing from palm to palm among wayfarers rather than being hoarded. Central to the passage is a wordplay between nakhun (the hoarded sliver of silver clutched like a nail) and nakhuna (a cataract or pterygium clouding the eye): the silver held tightly in the miser's palm is like a film over the eye of the heart and soul, and only by giving it away in charity can spiritual sight be restored. The section thus frames zakat as both materially generative and spiritually purifying.
