Libro de los avaros (Literatura)

The sharp wit in البخلاء feels timeless. I'm curious whether this work shaped comedic or satirical writing in the Arab world or beyond.

Despite being written centuries ago, the humor about human folly still hits close to home. What parts did others find especially relevant or amusing?

The way he weaves social commentary with humor is fascinating. I wonder what motivated him to collect and present these stories in this particular format.
