The Allegory of Abraham and the Agony of Death in Mosibat Nameh

In Section 12 of Attar's Mosibat Nameh, the dialogue between God and Abraham (Khali) illustrates the extreme difficulty and agony of death. Abraham asserts that all his lifetime trials—including the sacrifice of his son, seeing his father in hell, and being thrown into Nimrod's fire—paled in comparison to the moment of giving up his soul. God's response further emphasizes that the hardships of the afterlife exceed even the pain of dying.
