Allusion

Hatim or Hatim Tai

Hatim was renowned for his generosity. In Arabic, he is called Hatim, and since he belonged to the Tayy tribe, he is also known as Hatim Tai. A proverb, 'kicking the dust on Hatim's grave, (Hatim ki qabr pe laat maarnaa means show fake generosity) is quite famous, used figuratively to imply someone being overly generous or extravagant in a sarcastic manner.
