In this parable from Attar's 'Mosibat Nameh', the prophet Jesus—despite his habitual state of spiritual joy and 'expansiveness' (bast)—is depicted as being so overcome by the remembrance of his own death that he sweats blood. This vivid physical manifestation serves as an allegory for the profound spiritual awe (khawf) associated with the soul's departure. It teaches that the transition of death is a reality so immense that even the most spiritually elevated souls, who have attained the highest levels of proximity to the Divine, approach it with deep trepidation.
