jurisprudence status of justice in Sa’di’s Golestan

After the appearance of Islam, new words along with grand meanings, jurisprudent terms, philosophy, Hadith and stories, theology, etc, entered the vastness of literature. In the meantime, poets with analytical minds and scientific- literary talent used jurisprudent terms softly and tenderly in their poems. Sa’di being already familiar with these sciences in Al- Nizamiyya of Baghdad, could benefit from jurisprudent terms in his poems. The most legal- jurisprudent terms he used were such as: damage, trust, trade, sham, repentance, limit, Diya (blood money), Haram and halal (dos and don’ts), witness, complainer.
Among Sa’di’s poems, Golestan is considered as educational and advisory. Sa’di has used summaries and rhythmic texts in which all heroes are humans and each story is a combination of “human and the situation”. Evidently in Golestan, highly distinctive human characteristics such as justice and fairness that are also emphasized in holy Quran and the Islamic law, are tested. This study reveals the effects of jurisprudent view of Sa’di considering justice in Golestan writings. The results show that not only the effects are noticeably significant, but also, the use of justice in Golestan in three levels of lexical, conceptual as well as natural, is present.
