The Allegory of Amr-e Qais and Trust in Divine Mercy in Mosibat Nameh
In this section of Attar's Mosibat Nameh, the story of Amr-e Qais illustrates the Sufi concepts of absolute love for God (mahabba) and having good expectations of Him (husn al-zann). Amr-e Qais declares that even if cast into hell, he would continue to proclaim his love for God. The subsequent dream revelation, where God reassures him that He would never punish His friends (awliya), underscores the reciprocal nature of divine love and the assurance that true devotion shields a seeker from divine wrath.
