In Section 23 of the Hadiqat al-Haqiqah, Sanai presents a dialogue between a critic and a beggar that explores the Sufi virtue of contentment (qana'at). When a 'wise' observer rebukes the beggar for trading his faith for bread, the beggar responds with a paradoxical defense of his lifestyle: he accepts the social stigma of begging to maintain inner independence and avoid the heavy burden of serving worldly masters or catering to the 'creatures' (khalq). This narrative uses the figure of the 'wise fool' or ablah to critique those who possess wealth and status (mal o jah) yet remain slaves to greed, contrasting the beggar's external poverty with his internal freedom from worldly need (niyaz).
