Abstract

'Analogy' is used as a means or means of knowledge of principles and logic to substantiate or affirm a sentence in the domain of conveying concepts, cognition, and knowledge. Rumi, instead of Mathnawi, strongly opposes the "principle of analogy" and regards its use as cognitive-perceptual error, but in his stories, in order to establish and prove theories, he considers it logical, albeit based on a unique method which In its kind of address, it disrupts its rational proportion and its perverse order. This article examines the appropriateness of Rumi's reasoning in the allegorical story of "Lion and Nakhjiran" and concludes that Rumi, with a great deal of inference, disrupts the full fit of the common cause between Cobra and the result, and sometimes in the middle of the story. In so doing the conditions make logical inference or formality, cobra and inferiority, and in the meantime keep, where necessary, a number of elements of the analogy in the scope of the allegory.
