The Fault of the Creation's Pen from the Viewpoint of Hafez' Pir (Master)

The most problematic verse of Hafez is the famous: "Our Master said . . ." The author of this article first attempts to classify different interpretations related to this verse, and believes that most of these interpretations are the beliefs of their writers which are originated from studies of Islamic mysticism and Hafez' poetry or other mystic poets. Some interpreters have criticized the views of others from a rhetorical and poetic point of view. The main question of this article is to seek the Quranic sources for the aspect of humor and irony in the “Verse” through finding a document in the Quran that proves that Hafez' master is also in a position to make a mistake. The document exists in the Quran (27:88) that if the master sees a fault and says it is not, in fact, he concealed the fault and it is a humor. The second phase of the humor is where the Arabic word for “Sone’” (Creation) has an implied meaning of "goodness" in Arabic dictionaries. So, the Master's work is about the “Good Creator's” pen, not the absolute pen. In this case, the Master's concealment of the fault can be described as conscious, educative, and optimistic. Another aspect of the research is the completion of Jalal Dawani's meaning which says: the fate and destiny's pen does not make a mistake. This argument has been proved and supported through the denotative meaning of the terms “right” and “mistake”, “fulfillment” and “unfulfillment” and the meaning of the fulfillment of the Fate's pen equals “God's will is fulfilled”.
