This allegory from Attar's Mosibat Nameh tells the story of Dhul-Nun al-Misri encountering a Zoroastrian feeding birds in the snow to earn God's mercy. Despite Dhul-Nun's skepticism about God accepting a non-believer's actions, the Zoroastrian finds comfort in the fact that God sees his deeds. Later, Dhul-Nun witnesses the man performing Hajj, showing how sincere intention and hope for divine mercy can guide an individual to faith and redemption.
