This concept explores the parable of the dying old man from Section 4 of Attar's Asrar Nameh. In the poem, a frail old man on his deathbed is asked what provisions he has prepared for the journey into the afterlife. He answers that he is departing with 'empty hands'—meaning he has no significant good deeds to present. However, he relies entirely on his profound hope in God's infinite grace and forgiveness. The allegory emphasizes the Sufi spiritual theme that ultimate salvation depends not on one's own imperfect actions, but on divine mercy and unwavering hope in the Creator's benevolence.
