In Attar's Mosibat Nameh, this allegory describes a renowned Sheikh who dreams of meeting an angel while journeying toward God. The angel questions the sincerity of his quest, pointing out that his extensive worldly possessions and attachments act as heavy anchors preventing him from receiving divine light. Stricken with grief upon waking, the Sheikh renounces all his wealth and properties, keeping only a piece of felt for clothing, illustrating the necessity of complete detachment (tajrid) from worldly affairs to attain proximity to the Divine.
