In Farid al-Din Attar's Mosibat Nameh, the tale of Sultan Sanjar's sister, Safiyeh Khatun, serves as a spiritual allegory. The extraordinary physical beauty of Safiyeh Khatun, particularly her hair and tresses (zulf), symbolizes the alluring manifestations of Divine Beauty. When a dervish is completely enraptured by seeing just a single hair of hers, it illustrates how even a minute glimpse of Divine beauty can entirely overpower human intellect (aql) and draw the soul into spiritual ecstasy and annihilation.
