LessonsThe Dīnārī Maqāmah: The Second Dinar and Abū Zayd’s UnmaskingQuiz

«قَالَ لَهُ قَوْلَ الْمُحِقِّ الصَّادِقِ، لَا أَرَى فِي وَصْلِكَ لِي فَفَارِقِ»
He says to it as one telling the truth: I see no good for me in remaining united with you—so depart!

Muḥiqq refers to one justified in what he says; wiṣāl is union or continued closeness. The final imperative fa-fāriq transforms the language of attachment into a demand for separation.

The movement from the golden 'two-faced' deceiver to the command to leave closes the satire. The same talent has now composed both exaggerated praise and elaborate criticism of a dinar.
