In Section 16 of the Hadiqat al-Haqiqah, Sanai offers a severe critique of raising bad children, presenting them not as a source of joy or legacy, but as a dual spiritual and material burden. He argues that a bad child consumes their parents' wealth during life and deprives them of spiritual rewards after death. By comparing the act of nurturing a bad child to raising one's own enemy, Sanai advises spiritual seekers to avoid excessive worldly attachments to family and progeny, which only bring torment and distract from spiritual devotion.
