Abu al-Hasan al-Husri, answering those who reproached or pitied his state, said: 'Leave me to my affliction (bala); bring forth what you have. Are you not the children of Adam — whom God created with His own hand, breathed into him of His own spirit, and before whom He made His angels prostrate — yet when God gave him a command, he disobeyed? If the top of the wine-jar is dregs (dordi), how can its bottom be clear?'

The teaching reframes human suffering as an inheritance of Adam's original disobedience. Even the most honored creature, fashioned directly by the divine hand and enlivened by the divine breath, transgressed the command; therefore his descendants cannot expect a purer outcome, since the very origin of the cask is troubled dregs. Al-Husri uses this to accept his own bala not as a fault needing excuse or consolation, but as the natural mark of Adamic descent, thereby silencing both blamers and comforters.
