Abstract

A famous Saying is cited in many classic Persian works of prose and is attributed to Sa’ di (because of close similarity between it and a couplet by the poet). Yet, another version of it can be found in Tarike-s Wassaf. First of all, the article searches the exact words of the Saying in Sa’ di’ s works, then it examines the manuscripts of Wassaf’ s work, and finally reviews other ancient works of Persian prose that contain one of these two versions of the Saying. For instance, Fereidoon Sepahsalar’ s biography of Rumi (before or contemporary with Tarikh-e Wassaf), quotes the version that is found in Wassaf. The article concludes that Sa’ di and Wassaf have quoted an ancient Arabic maxim which was so popular between the learned Iranian.
