In the Hadiqat al-Haqiqah, Sanai employs the metaphor of the crucible (buteh) in two distinct spiritual contexts. While Section 35 uses the crucible to represent the Day of Judgment—the final, inescapable event that exposes the soul's true worth and strips away superficiality—Section 84 applies the metaphor to earthly trials (imtihan). In the context of Section 84, life's hardships act as an active, purifying crucible designed to refine the believer into 'pure gold' (zar-e pokhteh) prior to death. Together, these sections illustrate Sanai's view of divine testing as both an ongoing earthly purification and an ultimate eschatological revelation.
