This allegory in Attar's Mosibat Nameh describes a Sufi who brings fellow Sufis to testify in court. The Qadi rejects them as separate witnesses, explaining that because they have transcended their individual egos and the division of 'I' and 'we' (ma o man), they are spiritually one single entity. The parable illustrates the mystical concepts of annihilation of the self (fana) and spiritual unity (wahdah).
