In Attar's Mosibat Nameh, the tale of Sultan Mahmud ordering the sale of his beloved Ayaz in a fit of anger—only to deeply regret it and confront the buyer—serves as a profound allegory about the sacred and non-transactional nature of divine love. Through Ayaz's poignant response, which highlights that if 'buying' the beloved demands the sacrifice of one's life, then 'selling' (abandoning or trading) the beloved is an even greater spiritual tragedy, Attar illustrates that a true lover must possess the spiritual sovereignty to protect their devotion, accepting even the beloved's wrath as fitting.
