In Poem 9 of the Mokhtar Nameh, Attar of Nishapur explores the theological theme of prophetic intercession by addressing the Prophet Muhammad as the 'mercy to the worlds' (rahmat al-'alamin). The verse highlights a stark contrast between the inherently sinful nature of humanity and the divinely protected infallibility ('ismah) of the Prophet. Acknowledging the community's transgressions, the speaker appeals directly to the Prophet's grace, positioning him as the ultimate support and intercessor for the sinners within his ummah.
