In Chapter 3, Poem 3 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet praises Uthman ibn Affan, the third Rightly Guided Caliph. Attar emphasizes Uthman's defining virtues of modesty (حیا) and forbearance (حلم), which are frequently attributed to him in Islamic and Persian literature. The poem also highlights his deep connection to the Quran and alludes to his martyrdom, noting that his blood was worthy of the "coloring of Allah" (صبغة الله).
