Abstract :
Masnavi Ma'navi, as the great ocean of knowledge, is an excellent educational work in which allegory is a rhetorical ploy and its only purpose is not storytelling itself, but the transfer of deeper meanings and messages has foremost importance. The rhetorical ploy (allegory) because of influence and persuasion features has a very high application. Masnavi Ma'navi is an obvious and typical sample of allegorical work that Moulavi due to the type of work has taken steps in making the path of desired mental complex concepts more clearly and sometimes taken advantages of bringing anecdotes in the heart of each other to transfer these concepts easier.In the following study, we are about to analyze and consider different layers of allegory, one of the anecdotes of the sixth book entitled "the story of the lover who came at night in the hope of beloved's promise that had mentioned".
