This literary concept examines the central theme of Sanai's poem regarding the afterlife accountability of rulers. In the dream, Umar ibn al-Khattab explains that despite his reputation for justice, he spent twelve years answering for a single incident where a weak sheep stumbled on a bridge in Baghdad. This allegory illustrates the Sufi and ethical principle that political authority carries an absolute responsibility for every subject, where even minor negligence requires divine reckoning and mercy.
