  Sanāʾi Hadiqat-al-Haqiqa (The Garden of Truth) is a mystical and didactic book in verse conceived as a continuing discourse on a wide range of ethical and religious subjects in the form of stories, anecdotes and allegories. Brevity and simplicity is the main characteristic of the book, and this research aims, through a descriptive-analytic approach, to investigate the processing system of Hadiqat-al-Haqiqa stories, especially its short anecdotes, and to study the elements of characterization, plot, dialogues and setting in them. To do so, thirty anecdotes of Hadiqat-al-Haqiqa were selected to be investigated and analyzed. According to the obtained results Hadiqat-al-Haqiqa contains many features of minimalism such as conciseness, simple plot, abundance of dialogue, limited number of characters and episodes.

  Mystical allegory prepares the ground for a deep experience; it then leads to “artistic creativity”. In a mystical allegory, the narrator creates the literary work which in a way helps the reader to recreate it. The reader reconstructs the literary work and reaches to a new apprehension; as if; he creates a new work in his imagination and thoughts by himself. Hosein ibn Ali al-Hoseini, the mystic of 7th century AH, in his book Nuzhat al-Arwah, coextends narrator with reader by using allegory; helping the reader to recognize the hidden themes. The present article, by using content analysis method, tries to answer these basic questions: How has the writer of Nuzhat al-Arwah used allegory; and what are hidden themes and allegories in the book? Also, what characters are in the stories and allegories of the book? Manuscript profile
