In Sanai's 'Hadiqat al-Haqiqah', the tale of Alexander's death illustrates the futility of worldly wealth and power. Before dying, Alexander closes his hands and asks others to guess what they hold, only to reveal they contain nothing but wind. This allegory serves as a spiritual lesson that even the most powerful conquerors leave the world with nothing, emphasizing the transience of material achievements and the importance of focusing on the eternal spiritual path.
