In this allegory from Attar's Mosibat Nameh, Sultan Mahmud falls ill and remains unconscious for three days and nights. When he regains his senses on the fourth day, he finds his devoted servant Ayaz standing vigilantly by his side. The tale serves as a Sufi illustration of steadfast devotion, unconditional loyalty, and the ideal spiritual relationship between a seeker and the divine, or a disciple and their master.
