Explanation:

Baba Abdalla is a character from the Story of the Blind Baba Abdalla – one of the tales recounted in the book 1001 Nights. The story is about Baba Abdalla telling his story when he was a young man with a fortune of his own, who met a dervish who told him of a hidden treasure trove. After the two have managed to collect their loots – with Abdalla promising to give the dervish half of his camels.

However, blinded by greed, Abdalla selfishly asks the dervish into giving his part of the loot, until he decided to ask for an ointment that the dervish took from the same treasure trove. Even though the dervish has warned him that when put into his right eye, Abdalla would go blind, he foolishly still chose to apply it to his right eye. The dervish then decided to take both the dervish and Abdalla’s loot to be given to people who are more generous and in need of the wealth, leaving Abdalla to be a blind beggar. He retells this story in shame to the Sultan, because he chose to back out from his agreement with the dervish due to his own greed. His greed also caused his own blindness, making him feel even more ashamed since he caused his own situation.
